Kieren called in from his chainsawing today to say that "if I can get this road in, we're going to have unlimited north-facing skiing. It's incredible - the ridge is about 2km long, and the slope is perfect. This will set us up with fresh tracks even if it doesn't snow for a MONTH! I mean, if someone called me up and said, "Kieren, how would you like unlimited north-facing ski runs?", I think I'd have to say YES."
So... another good day in the backcountry at Big Red Cats!

If you came out skiing with Kieren in 2007/08, he may have taken your photo.
If you see one that you like, we may have a higer resolution version for you, but we may not. It's worth asking, though, and we'll have a look!
Last snow
31st May 2008 - Last of the snow is now melting on the south side of the mountains. Below is a picture that I took this morning. Bush work can begin in about 1 month. Studing you an avalanche mapping course coming up in 2 weeks. The Kids below are ski guides in training - I had them hiking up Red Mountain this morning.
