I was just asked a couple of questions on snow camping basics and I thought it would be a good idea to put in a post and add every link I could find so any reference to information could be quickly found.
Perhaps like UL camping a dedicated subsection might be handy but i'll start this and it can be moderated if needed.

Any I have missed or doubled up on??

Excellent suggestion of a dedicated sub-forum for snow camping, Moondog.

I've found a link to Roger Caffins snow camping FAQ on the Bushwalking Australia site. Hope he doesn't mind me sharing.

I don't think he will mind at all, but you could ask him if in doubt

Another good link I found via another forum

I'll be based at Pretty Valley and pretty much for the whole of the ski season, with side trips to Hotham etc

Thanks MD, I'm going to make sure I spend a few nights in the snow this coming winter.

Thanks Moondog, am going to put my spectacles on and study up!
