 Meet at Bunnings Wodonga carpark 7.30am

Join me for a stroll around the XC area of Falls Creek. I plan to have lunch somewhere out on the trail so pack something to eat, a warm drink and something to sit on. 

Aproximately 10kms.  Suitable for first time snowshoers.

Experienced XC Skiers welcome.

Participants will share the cost of transport and resort entry. The club has 3 sets of snowshoes if further equipment is needed we will share the cost of this also. 

Please check what to bring on the day. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

 

 

GRADE 3

Suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Some bushwalking experience recommended. Track may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps.

 

 

WHAT TO BRING

Day Walking / XC Skiing / Snowshoeing in the Alps

Activities in the Alps require additional safety equipment due to the fact that weather can change really quickly from benign to dangerous

 

  • Current Medical Information Form found on the website here
  • Water - 2 litres recommended - exercise in the Alps uses prodigious amounts of fluid
  • Sunscreen
  • Gloves and hat
  • Sufficient food bearing in mind the distance and duration of the event (snacks for morning and afternoon tea and lunch)
  • Suitable clothing and footwear - note denim pants are uncomfortable
  • Wet weather waterproofs, jacket and pants
  • Thermal top and bottoms
  • Walking poles
  • Gaiters
  • Basic first aid kit including your specific medication eg asthma applicator
  • Torch or headlamp for contingencies
  • Whistle
