 Skiing in the Rockies
 by Kenn Clacher

-Our first ,'s travel entailed about 11 km and 600m elevation gain. There had been some more snow overnight which meant hard going for whoever was breaking trail. It soon became apparent that I had made a good choice of ski to Use. i eventually opted for the Black Diamond Toute Neiges being swayed by the fact that all the Americans on our previous trip had used skis similar 'to thern.

-It turned out to be the right choice. With fresh snow falling every night and temperatures generally staying below zero during the day, one application of a wide spectrum -300-00 wax each morning along the whole length of the base was sufficient to ensure good grip and glide each day. I was delighted with how my skis performed throughout the trip as this was my first serious encounter' with the alchemy of waxing. I would have no hesitation in taking them on any future trip in the Sierra Nevada or the Rockies, while recognising they are not suited to most backcountry trips in Australia. The- extra width of the black Diamonds also helped greatly in limiting the degree to which I sank in the fresh snow: Wayne and David had great trouble with balling up and sinking deeply into the snow, even when they were following in my tracks.

 The trail was marked with metal markers at reasonable intervals, except in "wilderness" areas where tree blazed served the purpose. Eventually we reached the spot on the road where the trail turned off the road and up a spur. A steep climb of a few hundred metres through fairly heavy forest brought us to the top of the ridge and into more open country. Another kilometre or so and we were at the hut after a little hunting around. It appears that the snow was so, deep in the vicinity of the hut that the markers were covered by snow. We were greeted by a delightfully well- appointed and cosy hut with a magnificent view between periods of low 'cloud.
 The next day was the one which had caused the most apprehension in pre-trip planning. It was only about 8km to Skinners, the next hut, but it required crossing the continental divide at Hagerman Pass at around
