Archived trip from old website run by Mark Euston

An overnight trip to Mt Twynam where (ice permitting) we'll do some ice climbing at Blue Lake and (snow permitting) some skiing in Watsons Ck. If both ice and snow are rubbish, then we'll just potter about in the snow (some people call this 'mountaineering').

Mika is running a mega snow-shoeing trip this weekend, so all the snow shoes will be gone. This means that you will need to use the club's telemark skis. You'll probably want to have had at least 4 days on telemark skis or be able to ski black runs in a resort. If you've never skied on telemark skis and are only comfortable on beginner runs in a resort, then you will probably be hating life during the 3-hour ski in and 2-hour ski out with a ~20kg pack.

You'll need to bring the gear listed on this page (http://anumc.org.au/activities/skiing) plus a helmet, harness, 2 slings, 2 locking biners, belay device, crampons, prusik loops. I'll provide more detail in an email later this week.
