Summary

This history of the Ski Exploration of Victoria's Alpine Area contains descriptions of all the great pioneering tours of the 1920s and 1930s as recorded and documented by members of those parties at the completion of their trips. Every tour story is accompanied by a map of the route and photos taken along the way.
This is an historic document, recapturing and recording achievements by the pioneers who cut the first ski tracks across our Alpine Winter Wonderland, and whose names are a "Who's Who" of the earliest years of Victorian skiing.
In addition, this book contains sections of superb full-page photographs of the mountains in winter, taken by noted Australian mountain skier-photographers.
