Skiing

Much of Tasmania is subject to at least occasional winter snows. The Mount Mawson ski area was established as a club skifield in 1958 and is run by the Southern Tasmanian Ski Association. It is situated at around 1250 m above sea level with four ski tows about a 20-minute walk from the car park. Mawson has three lifts: two intermediate rope tows and a third steep incline rope tow accessing steep terrain. A small amount of club accommodation is available and there are some self-catering huts in the national park.
