Someone said that it was and I'll like confirmation.

Thanks in advance

I believe it does snow up there from time to time?


Snow can be pretty cold sometimes, and has been known to OCCASIONALLY cause frostbite according to some sources............

Yes, It can get down to -23C and the Snowy Mountains can and do have very strong winds, low temperatures and strong winds are a recipe for frost bite and hypothermia. The weather can change quickly and you can never be too careful, people regularly die in the Snowies in winter.

ive been to the snowys a couple of times in winter and frostbite has never been an issue..... i think someone might be pulling your leg...but if you do develop severe frost bite on your toes,..the best thing to do is chop them off... i havent tried it myself but i have been told it doesnt hurt very much...

I PM'd this user and he advises me he is actually talking about the Snowy's in Tasmania, so I have left this topic here in the Tasmania forum.

Well in that case, frostbite in Winter is a risk in the *&%$#! suburbs let alone up at 1400m!!!!

Probably should read the Snowy Range rather than Mountains too.
