The party of five gathered at Munyang on Saturday morning and were away early. The day was perfect after some overnight snow, then rain. The snow, although being skiable after just a couple of hundred metres elevation gain up Disappointment Spur, was far less than perfect. In fact, it was the gooiest, most gelatinous snow I have encountered since skiing in " | The party of five gathered at Munyang on Saturday morning and were away early.

Undaunted by all this Ken Smith was out again over the weekend of 6, 7, 8 October with a party of 3 on his trip in the Snowball area. They reported the area as spectacular and pleasant. Eddie Giacomel had 15 on his Saturday walk in Dharug National Park. Bronny Niemeyer reported 23 brave souls venturing out from the Town Hall steps in rain and drizzle on her Sunday walk along the Sydney Harbour Foreshores. The weather improved as the day wore on and the ferry ride back was considered a fitting finale. Things were so tough that only 17 survived the succession of ice cream and cappuccino stops. One participant even left a set of keys at the ice cream Shop at Parsley Bay. The owners handed them on to the Rose Bay police station so if whoever is still living on the footpath outside, that's where to find them. | Undaunted by all this Ken Smith was out again over the weekend of 6, 7, 8 October with a party of 3 on his trip in the Snowball area.
