About this event
DIFFICULT TRIP
Trip Leaders -Group 1 Simon & Beckie Maiwald and Group 2 Perry Kazantzis
Snow Hunting on Mt Skene - Meet at 8.30am to depart at 9.00am
After meeting at Jamieson we will head up Mt Skene, hopefully making it to the top and back down to Jamieson. Depending on the depth of snow and how long it takes us we will look at hitting some tracks back to Jamieson. The trip will end back at Jamieson around 5pm, we can then stop at the Courthouse Hotel for a drink and a chat about the day.
Bring lunch, snacks, water. Warm snow appropriate clothing is required, a change of clothes is recommend.
All vehicles will need to carry snow chains and the driver of the vehicle must know how to fit them before leaving for this trip.
