Perisher XC Trails and Nordic Shelter Work Parties
It has snowed and winter is getting easier to imagine. The tracks need more work and the Nordic Shelter is in mid-upgrade.
If you feel like smashing some rocks, slashing some shrubs, generally expending energy at high altitude, or staying closer to home and tarting up the Nordic Shelter before it gets really cold, bring your work boots and old clothes. Be prepared for any weather and late-season march flies.
XC Work Party #3 is confirmed for the weekend of 11/12 April and this is a gentle reminder to get in touch if you plan to attend.
Please contact Peter Ward (mailto:nswxc1@gmail.com) if you can attend.
Contact Peter Cunningham (mailto:peter.cunningham@actewagl.com.au) if you require accommodation - thank you Canberra Alpine Club!
