SnowGaz


Still waiting for the boat so time to delve into the past again. This time its a couple of images from many cross country skiing and snow camping trips that I did in the 80's and 90's .... no, not the 1880's as the beard and woollen clothing might suggest.

Had some great trips, some lasting up to 10 days out in the snow with 3 trips taking in the summit of Mt Jagungal.  There was some weather to die for and some that you could die in, if not careful. We had to dig the tents and even the huts out more than a few times.


Friendships forged on such trips remain strong as everyone needed to work well together to survive in a really harsh environment carrying everything on your back.
