This trip is for beginner/intermediate skiers who want to ski in for the Main Range Extravaganza. We will catch the Kosci chair and ski along the tourist track to the camp.
On Sunday we will head north to visit club lake and find some easy slopes to play on.
Distance: about 8km on Saturday and Monday and about 7km on Sunday.
Expected ability: should be able to ski bumpy but level ground and descend gentle slopes with a pack, or at least be super fit and motivated.
See http://anumc.org.au/activities/skiing#gear for the gear you should bring.
As conditions can deteriorate unexpectedly, it is especially important that you have the correct gear on snow trips.
Make sure you have waterproof jacket and pants as well as decent gloves and a good amount of warm clothing.
There will be a pre-trip on Thursday 6pm at the gear store to check off the gear that you have.
When you sign up can you please describe what ski or camping experience you have as well as what gear you will need to hire.
This will make the pre-trip a bit faster.

Sunday- follow the main range track north to club lake followed by easy skiing on S side of Mt Lee. Plan may be adjusted to suit participants capabilities.
