Alex Parsons, Head Backcountry Guide for Thredbo Resort talks to Emma and Tennille about a typical day at work when the great outdoors is your office. Alex shares why she's passionate about the backcountry, what got her initially intrigued about the work and her professional pathway to becoming Head Guide. We discuss the Thredbo backcountry team, Thredbo's programs on offer for guests and in particular women and different backcountry gear you can use before you buy everything brand new. We discuss what you can get excited about seeing and experiencing away from the snow resort environments, Nozawa Onsen in Japan and much more. A great episode for outdoors lovers who are also curious about pathways to employment that keeps them far away from the rat race.
