The next morning, after a few token stuff-arounds, we headed up the Kosciusko Express chair and skinned up near Signature Hill, setting camp near North Ramshead. After digging in, we geared up to hit up Leatherbarrel Creek but as I put my skis on my heel throw snapped off clean in my hands! NOT HAPPY! My brand-new Axl's! On closer inspection it looks as though the plastic in the snapped section has some ripples, maybe making a weak spot... With skiing no longer an option for me I went for a short hike & took some snaps whilst Maria got in a few turns.
That night, nearby Charlotte's Pass recorded -15! ... and we felt it! In the morning I managed to rig my binding up so I could ski out, but I chose the download of shame on the Kosi Chair - unsure if my binding fix would be up for a big descent!
We stopped by Wild Brumby on the way home for nice lunch and to try some schnapps - which are pretty good, but the chili one sure packs a punch! Anyway, back in Sydney now - almost time to start packing for our big trip next week - we have assembled a team of 5 to head out and this time I'd like to get some skiing done!
High hopes for the drive down!
Breakfast with a view!
Heading out from the Eagle's Nest (top of Thredbo)
Camp for the night (and my new tent!)
...and I got a little trigger happy with the camera...
Maria digging our couch for the evening - too cold to sit out though!
