We will stay in rented accommodation in Jindabyne for a week, and have a day walk on the snow each day. Spring is the perfect time to go to the snow, because the weather is likely to be excellent, and some melting snow makes for great scenery and photos. Snow shoes are the easiest way to get around on snow - you don't need to learn how to ski! It's a natural progression for bush walkers who want to explore a different kind of Australian wilderness. The week's walking programme will get slightly more challenging each day, culminating in trips such as Mt Kozzy, Blue Lake, Mt Tate and Cootapatamba Hut. We will build an igloo for practice, and some of us will spend one night in a snow cave.
