Pipers Creek, Snowy Mountains, New South Wales, Australia
Twelve months prior, I was walking this area with no snow on the ground, thinking that in the right conditions, this place would certainly be a great option. Fast forward, and with an invitation to re-visit from a friend, it felt like if we could line up the conditions, it would be on. I remember looking at this huge snow bearing system online a number of days prior to our planned day away, hoping that my lens and some great snow might collide on the banks of this special place.
Pre-dawn, we hit the road and on our arrival, the snow levels were low, it was on. The huge system I had been watching had dumped a heap of snow and it was a welcome relief to what had been an average season till this point. We jumped out of the car in what could be described as near perfect conditions, it was snowing with only light winds. We tramped up the creek, fighting steep banks, fallen trees and thick heath covered in snow. I spied this spot right up the creek and half an hour later we arrived. It was tricky to get into but so worth the effort.
This was another magic day in the mountains.
