I was invited to Ben’s ski trip to Burstall Pass on Sunday. The weather was just like the previous day, blue sky without a single cloud, BUT but butt? what? …COLD!! Burstall Pass being so popular and having such a definitive trail, I don’t think I need to write route description here… nice!! According to experienced, snow depth wasn’t quite deep enough yet. Yes my skis got few scratches. And more to come, unfortunately for my skis…
