Mt Bogong Skiing

Mt Bogong is a great mountain.  A trip here involves climbing up one of the spurs, which is steep and sometimes icy. There are many lines to ski in the area with a wide range of difficulties, as the top of Mt Bogong is smooth, open and grassy, dropping away to some steeper, rocky sides.

The conditions on Mt Bogong can also be intense, with winds to blow you over and snow that turns to bumpy ice. If the snowfall is unusually good, there's also a danger for avalanches (we may choose to go elsewhere if this is the case). For this reason, if you'd like to come, we need to be sure you can take care of yourself to some extent, as the leaders only have limited capacity.

Looking for participants who:

• Are confident that you can ski carefully over moderately steep (think blue getting on to black run at resort ) with crappy/icy snow
• Know when to stop before you hurt yourself
• Understand the importance of sticking together with the group especially in poor visibility
• Have a decent level of fitness, carrying camping gear, and skis up a mountain can be challenging

Have a chat to me on a Tuesday night if you're really keen, but not sure whether you meet the skills required to come on the trip, or if you want to know how you can get the skills needed to come on trips like this.
