The Fist, as seen when I was driving to the trailhead. It's a grey and overcast day.

Jamie and Ruth swapping boots and gearing up.

Jamie in the parking lot heading to the trail head head.. lol

Ruth under attack from the panda looking puppy. The puppy is a Sheep/poodle cross and is 4 months old.

Looking across the valley towards Mt Galatea.

Jamie and Ariana wedging up the hill behind the rest of the group. This was our first loop and I'd fallen a few times on the first descent. Jamie fixed up the wax on my skis and after that I seemed to get the hang of it.

Jamie.. all my photos are from behind because I was last. :( .. lol.

Ariana and her puppy.

Kristyn snowplowing down the hill.

Capturing Jamie capturing the moment

Paired off along the route.

Tara on the trail, Jamie catching up.

Along the corridor to the Mt Shark Helipad.

Tara and Sonja in the snow.

Along the trail we go.

Looking back along the path. It's been a steady climb.. the Helipad trip is out and back so it should be a quick return.

Snowing harder as we return from the helipad.

All smiles. I'm not stuck in the back of the pack anymore.

Speedy Ruth wondering where everyone else is.
