Miranda has sent in evidence that should bring some joy to the ski fiends out there.

Yes indeedy that’s a light dusting of snow! As in stuff that falls from the sky not out of the barrel of a snow maker.

Make it a highland one – warmer!

Jey5:49 am 28 Mar 07

Then a cow I shall wear!

Hasdrubahl8:21 pm 27 Mar 07

A jersey, Jey.

As in the cow.

Sounds like there could be an inaugural RiotACT Kosciuszko bushwalk brewing?

Jey7:45 pm 27 Mar 07

Thanks Miranda. I think I shall have to bring my winter pjs too.

What do non-blokes wear to keep warm, then Hasdrubahl?

Hasdrubahl4:25 pm 27 Mar 07

Hmmm, Jey, only people I know who wear jumpers are: Blokes!

It was two degrees at 9am at CP when we left, and 5 degrees when we got back in the arvo. The ranger reckoned it was -9 wind-chill factor on the Main Range ridge… I think she might have been exaggerating by about 5 degrees…….

Rug up! Specially if it’s windy!

Jey2:49 pm 27 Mar 07

So, should I like bring a jumper when I come down next week?

“That said, early snowfalls are not a good portent! We got them last year, too.”
Too true! Last year I walked from CP over to Blue Lake in knee-deep snow in April. People were skiing down the side of Kosi. Then nothing.

Yep – the view of the Main Range from Charlotte Pass. I did the 21km CP-Koz-Blue Lake-CP walk on the weekend. Extremely cold, extremely windy and marvellously exhilarating!
