Simon Murray is one of those quiet legends of the backcountry community. You may not know his face, but if you do get out of resort in winter, you will know his work.
He was the brains behind the creation of Mountain Sports Collective, MSC (now the Mountain Safety Collective) which produces the daily backcountry conditions report. He produces the amazing maps sold via MSC, initiated the 'Slay Academy' – training sessions in the high country. He is ridiculously talented at design, and came up with the 'Barry' image used for the Victorian backcountry festival and, back in the day, produced a great climbing guide for the Buffalo plateau ('the Definitive guide to the granite paradise of Mount Buffalo).
Apart from organising the tour program for the 2022 Victorian backcountry festival, and getting some epic backcountry trips in, Simon has recently released the Victorian Backcountry Companion, which features an incredible range of tours, from beginner to expert.
