I had no takers for this extended joint club trip so there I was alone, packed and ready to depart Guthega Power Station at 2:00pm. My first struggle was holding my pack under the luggage scales – no wonder as it registered 27kg (excluding camera and skis). Perhaps a little on the heavy side – obviously there are some advantages to travelling with others. I departed in a gentle breeze with mostly sunny skies.

Left Barrack Point 7:07am arrived Guthega about 2:00pm. Was overcast with occasional showers.

Bruce Easton at Wilderness Sports recommended Guthega, so I bought a map and was off. Changed and packed at Island Bend campsite. Dropped off my pack at Guthega before driving 1km back to the overnight carpark and walked back. Looking forward to my first trip on with new skis, boots and skins. Continue reading →

We met at Steve’s at 1700 on Friday and began the long drive down. It seemed things were against our skiing this weekend. Some people had had to pull out of the trip due to injury and other commitments, and then things continued as the weekend progressed. Just before Canberra Steve pulled over because something felt funny. Sure enough we had a flat (caused by a nail), though luckily the spare was accessible and we managed a quick change. The rest of the drive to Jindy was uneventful, reaching Nuggets Crossing at 2330, just in time to get our skis, stocks and boots from Wilderness Sports ($60 for 2 days). We continued on the last leg of the drive out to Thredbo Diggings (Bullocks Flat) where we set up the tent and were asleep by 2330.
