Stormy Valley

We had the opportunity to do some snowshoeing twice in 2022, with this time in early November being a late season unexpected opportunity, courtesy of the #Snowvember cold snap. On this occasion we started from the carpark above the Charlotte Pass Snow Resort and hiked up Mt Stilwell.

We started with a clear morning, but the storm clouds approached as we got towards the peak of Stilwell. This image was shot from an overlook near the top of Charlotte Pass' Kosciuszko Triple Chairlift, and provided magnificent views down the Perisher Valley. The gathering storm clouds provided atmosphere—both IRL and for the image!

The hike to Mount Stilwell (in hiking season) remains on our 'to-hike' list, so without the opportunity to have previously navigated the route, we were pleased to have the support of a local guide. It can take the guess work out of the hike.
