The rare and endangered Native Snow Goblin.
Year 13OED managed to sneak in to the mountains during a gap in an extended period of poor weather recently. With the avalanche risk high in Nelson Lakes National Park we stayed closer to home around the Mt Arthur region. The plan was to snow camp for two nights close to the base of the mountain and summit the North Twin. The weather played its hand though, and for the first time in over seven years, we cut the trip short by a day. The crew did get the chance to experience snow caving though as the pics show.
