Backcountry trips for this winter

[BlueHue]

Well I've got a few places I want to visit this year in the backcountry so thought I'd start building a bit of excitement by putting my plans out there a bit....... and give myself some motivation to follow through by putting it out there on a public forum that will kick my butt and call me soft and I don't!

For day trips to the Paralyser for sure, even as a side trip on a lift skiing day at Perisher. A day out to Mt Tate and probably a few day trips off the top of Thredbo into the south Ramsheads and Leatherbarrell Creek. Would love to do Twin Valleys but get the feeling that is a biiiggg day trip beyond my backcountry experience and fitness (or lack thereof).

Also keen for a springtime camping trip out onto the main range somewhere.

What about everyone else? Any plans, any suggestions for slackcountry trips not mentioned above?

This guys site has a few good ideas:

DHG camping trip in sept would be great

I plan on getting in on a trip in September once the shop gets a little quieter. I have to get some AT bindings and Climbing skins for my skis that I have put aside.

You did not like the 100km/hr winds and rotting dust covered summer like snowpack you encountered last year in September [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/big_laugh.gif[/img] @ Kaz - every year is different! this could be the one when there's lots of snow still in Sept

As for slackcountry stuff, Paralyser sounds great, will have to start running again (walking is a good start!) to be fit enough so I can enjoy it, but all sounds great
