Stan's Kosi Weekend - Southern Alps Ski Club
Sat 01st Feb 2025
Walk, Part-day walk, Lodge Based, Social
Bookings available to active members only.
Charlotte Pass and Village are named after Charlotte Adams, who, in 1881, was the first European woman to climb Mount Kosciuszko. Stan Marks lead an annual ‘Kosi weekend’ for over 20 years up until his passing in 2021.This activity is held in his memory.
Arriving to Charlotte Pass on Saturday, checking out on Monday. After a two year hiatus we will once again be staying at the Southern Alps Ski Club, There is opportunity of anyone who would like to spend more or less time to do so by prior arrangement.
True to Stan's legacy, this is as much a social activity as it is a bushwalking activity. Therefore, it is a relaxing weekend with a variety of walks to cater for the majority of abilities within the group, from L/R/X to M/E-M. Walk options are many and varied and very much depend on the weather conditions on the day. Suggested option: Saturday afternoon - Guthega to Charlotte Pass (9.5km, 3hrs); Sunday - Charlotte Pass Village to Perisher Valley (13km, 5hrs); Monday - Perisher Valley to Bullocks Flat (12km, 5hrs). This would make up 3 of the 4 sections of the Snowies Alpine Walk, and would require a car shuffle each day. Though if you prefer to just chill out in the Lodge and read a book or paint, then that's fine too.
Catering is on the basis of everybody brings something to share for the evening meals, and a roster will be drawn up for this to make sure we have enough of everything for our dinners. Self-catering arrangements for breakfast and lunches. There are limited supplies available in the village, so best to bring whatever food and drinks you require to meet your own needs for the duration. Commercial kitchen, cool room fridges, oven/cooktop, microwave, slow cooker, cooking items, cutlery and crockery supplied.
