Skiing 6.9.15




After 10 years of skating track skating, I finally persuaded one of my kids to try backcountry skiing. A worthwhile trip up Twynam via Tate east ridge, despite the icy conditions for the first 200 vertical metres of the descent from Twynam. Strong cold winds meant we didn't stop for lunch until we got to Illawong.
Levimir 6U and Nrapid 4U in Jindabyne was good for the trip. Cold conditions and high winds meant testing BSLs was quite impractical for the middle few hours of the trip.
