Mt Bogong BC Skiing

Have wanted to get up to Bogong for a couple of years but climbing has gotten in the way.

It'll be a little late in a dry season but Bogong has snow for quite a while into spring, so there should be something to slide around on.

Plan is to leave Melbourne Friday arvo, park on the side of the road and climb 500m to Michelle hut. If we get there late we can just camp next to the cars. Saturday we'll go further up the mountain in search of snow.

Not sure what we'll do Saturday night, could camp in tents further up the mountain or head back to the hut. Depends on the weather and how busy it is.

Haven't been up there before so this will be a bit of an adventure but we'll keep an eye on the weather closer to the date and plan accordingly.

Saturday and Sunday we'll go searching for snow and get some turns in.

To come on this trip you need to meet the following requirements:

- be a strong skier: you can confidently ski steep terrain in poor snow conditions
- have been on an overnight hike in adverse weather i.e. rain/wind/snow
- be capable of hiking 1000 vertical meters in a day with a heavy pack on
- be stoked on skiing and possibly some shit weather :)

If the weather's looking really foul we can go somewhere else, fingers crossed!

Our glorious leader Will has departed for Switzerland and so we will have to make do without, although he will be there in spirit. If another ski leader or someone super experienced joins, would consider increasing the trip limit so we can take two cars and basically function as two groups.
