Weather conditions weren't exactly perfect for our first backcountry ski but weren't bad enough to not go! After a brief downhill session followed by lodge lunch, Andy, Al, Rob and myself headed out in the very snowy conditions. Our aim was to walk as far as we wanted up the Paralyser, then ski down through the snow gums to the Snowy river and trek back to the lodge.
Negotiated the bridge over Farm Creek was interesting and I (mistakenly) decided it would be better to take skis off and in doing so ended up in thigh deep snow before making it on to the bridge!
Transitioning to ski back down!
Fun time skiing down through the snow gums - lots of laughs with a few stacks!!
We all agreed that this short loop was probably the best ski of the whole week! We're all looking forward to doing more of this in the future.
