Paddling Snowy River from Charlotte Pass to Guthega

Avatar

Thought I’d share a video a good friend and my paddling buddy put together this season. They were at Perisher then skied into the upper upper Snow River and paddled from Charlotte Pass to Guthega. Got caught in a blizzard while on the river.
Enjoy smile

That’s rad. Personally I usually try to stay OUT of the freezing water not in it, but it’s awesome to watch. I liked the part where they paddle through in between the ice. That was sweet.

I don’t think I’d be keen for it myself. Amazing scenery shaka

They just bought drysuits before the trip so they said the only part of them that was cold was their hands. Everything else fine. I love how one side of the river is covered in snow and the otherside is all grass
