Are you a backcountry skier and interested in a road trip to Hotham for the Australian Backcountry Festival?
https://backcountryfestival.com.au/
ANUMC has been invited by the organisers of this festival to send a contingent. There will be workshops during the day on different aspects of backcountry skiing/boarding, as well as ski touring day trips at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. There will also be social events at night, with last year's festival attracting around 300 backcountry enthusiasts.
While camping plans aren't still TBC, the organisers are hoping to have a camping area set aside near the main village with access to showers, toilets etc.
I will not be able to attend myself, so this trip is to spread the word and encourage interested folks to connect with each other and maybe arrange a carload to Hotham. If you sign up to the trip indicating your interest (no firm commitments at this stage), I will send a group message and you can go from there.
If you haven't already joined the ANUMC skiers whatsapp group can I encourage you to send me your phone number and I can sign you up.
