Agree with Richard, Hotham to Feathertop along the razorback is much easier than slogging up the hellishly steep track from Harrietville. We tried the razorback in x-country skis once (with overnight packs) - don't the steep bits and forrested bits made it really hard going, would have been a breeze with snow shoes though. In the end I packed the skis and opted for truging through waist deep snow instead. I do suck at skiing though. And yes, we cursed the boarders we saw on the track, mainly because they brought snow shoes and overtook us with ease. |
