Overview

Finally the long awaited Snow Hike is coming to reality. We have planned our thrilling snow hike to bring us closer to the different kind of nature which is hard to catch in Australia. We did Kosi Summit via a different route last year, now is the time to do it on snow.

Please make sure you read Sydhikers Hike Disclaimer before you join the hike. Please don’t join the hike if you disagree any part of it or are not willing to read it.
