Snowy Mountains II
Posted by Alex under White Water
Nick and myself headed up to the mountains once more on Friday and were warmly welcomed with two turbines on at Guthega power station, this was a great level for the Power Station section, so we jumped in. Unfortunatley Nick lost his paddle so if you find a werner player with his name on it, it’s his. We then swapped the play boats for creek boats and did Finn’s Creek, a steep low volume creek that runs into the snowy from the river left about 3/4 of the way down to Island Bend. The first descent of the creek was done the Friday before last by Darlo and Rob, its a solid IV possibly pushing V on some of the drops. Unfortunatley the photos of the creek arn’t great nor plentiful due to daylight issues (we got on the creek at 5:45pm) and very small eddy’s.
