Inspecting the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme Rocky Valley Dam at Falls Creek

At the snow line, the expedition temporarily abandoned the vehicles in favour of skis.  Here Lord Bailey suits up for a review of the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme.

Back at the expedition vehicles, the clouds lifted momentarily to reveal the surrounding countryside.

Eaglecrest Ski Area

Emily learned how to ski and snowboard at the Eaglecrest Ski Area on Douglas Island.  She taught for many years as well.  We visited the ski area in the off season just to check the place out.  They might not get much snow but the pow is supposed to be pretty epic.
