Lets go shred some aussie pow! By heading backcountry to get away from those lift lines, the crowds and icy groomers. This trip is for people who consider yourself a comfortable downhill skier but no backcountry skiing experience is required.

The vague plan is to leave newcastle with an alpine start on the 16th of July, and hire some gear in Cooma. Then depending on snow and weather conditions head straight into the backcountry for the first night or camp at Island Bend campground to go backcountry first thing in the morning. Depending of snow and weather conditions we either be backcountry skiing on the Main Range or Schlink Pass (possible out to Mt Jagungal). Throughout the trip we'll explore different terrain and scenery before heading back to the cars on the 21st and driving back to Newy.

Ticket will include transportation from the gear shed, camping gear hire (tent, sleepingbag, pack ,...) and a lightweight dinner for all the nights in the backcountry. It doesn't include backcountry ski hire which will be done through Rhythm and will cost approx $200.

Splitboards are awesome but if you want to come on this trip on splitboard there are higher requirements of skills to guarantee your enjoyment and everyone elses enjoyment. You must be able to snowboard black runs, must be able to confidently ski green runs and must be reasonably fit. Hire cost are approx $280
