Singles keen to experience the wonderful world of white snow but not mad on the idea of skiing or snow boarding might find snow shoeing is the perfect Thredbo activity for them.
It used to be basically tennis racquets strapped onto boots but snow shoes, along with technology and time, have advanced to 2014 standards.
Jeff from K7 Adventures says that snow shoes are now durable plastic and very stable. They're a good platform for walking on all kinds of surfaces. He tells us that anyone can do it, but you need an average or better level of fitness for the full Mt Kosciuszko tour (see below), given the altitude is higher .
Why not see for yourself If you don't consider yourself very fit you can contact K7 Adventures and arrange to have a less intensive snow shoe tour with guides and enjoy a hot chocolate up the top of the mountain while you watch the skiers and boarders go by. Enjoy great views, particularly later in the season as clouds clear and weather is milder.
Even if you are single you don't have to be on your own to enjoy this activity. Form a small group of your own or join a group and make an adventure of it. K7 Adventures run a range of different Snow Shoe walks based from Thredbo and can provide everything you need in terms of equipment, assuming you're dressed appropriately for the snow and have water proof boots.
K7 Snow Shoe Trips
More energetic adventures include Snow Shoeing to Mt Kosciuszko and reaching the summit, "You must have the energy to get back as well as get there" Jeff cautions. We usually meet in Thredbo at 8.15 at the K7 office at the base of the Kosciuszko chair. Then ride the chairlift to the top of Thredbo where we start the hike. The 13km return trip to Mount Kosciuszko takes most people 6 hours with time for photos and snack breaks."
