Brindabella Adventure

On Saturday 30 August I went up to the Brindies with a mate to see if we could reach the rapidly diminshing snow that had been teasing us from Canberra since July. As we thought there'd be a fair walk in, we also decided to pack the mountain bikes in to reduce the slog factor.

It turned out that it was only 4km to very solid snow on the road near Mt Ginini, so we threw the bikes into the bushes and got skiing. The old ski run on Mt Ginini had such good snow we decided the extra effort to get to Mt Gingera, our original goal, was not worth it. pics below

Snow on the road, looks good but a bugger to ride on, about 1k from were we changed to skiing

Mt Gingera (from Mt Ginini), ACT's 2nd highest. But the snow had really gone from its NE aspect
