Description

Come and join me on this fun and informative full day introduction to backcountry skiing, as we ski on the awe-inspiring NSW (New South Wales) Main Range, Australia, a skiers paradise full of the interesting and captivating landscape, terrain, flora and fauna that Australia is known for, whilst also teaching you the basics of this magnificent activity.

Nestled within the Great Dividing Range, the NSW Main Range contains some of the highest peaks in Australia, including the highest, Mt. Kosciuszko. The skiing conditions are excellent, as the cool, alpine climate, fresh snow and sheer size of the range means we will be able to learn and ski in a relatively peaceful environment, whilst also discovering some of the fascinating scenery.

We will meet at one of the main areas of the range, either Perisher, Thredbo, Guthega or Dead Horse Gap, in the morning, before heading off in earnest to ski. We will be teaching you the basics and necessities needed to enjoy and enhance your backcountry skiing experiences, such as equipment to use, navigation and avalanche safety.

Along the way we will encounter some of the brilliant flora and fauna native to Australia, such as gumtrees, native wildflowers, and if we’re lucky, brumbys and kangaroos!

At the end of the day we hope you will have the confidence to continue learning about backcountry skiing, while also falling a little bit more in love with this special part of Australia.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
