“Guide
Mike picks us up at the hotel. The weather reports for the day are
awful. Heavy snows predicted, as well as gale force winds and zero
visibility. We proceed up the mountain to see if conditions will
change as we make the 45 min. drive to Thredbo Village. When the
mountain patrol asks us where we are going, and Mike tells him the
summit, he gives us a discouraging look as if we are crazy to
venture out into the gale force wind. Seeing our determination, he
requests that we call him when we get back down.” |
