Located within the Mount Field National Park and about 1&1/2 hours drive from Hobart in southern Tasmania, Mount Mawson boasts of the ski areas at an altitude of about 1250m. The area usually gets fairly consistent snow falls during winter resulting sufficient cover for downhill skiing from mid July to mid September.
It is a small club field run by the Southern Tasmanian Ski Association (STSA). It is open to the public for downhill skiing. This association is formed from members of the seven ski clubs that use the area, the Ski Club of Tasmania, Oldina Ski Club, Wellington Ski Club, Hobart Walking Club, Mount Mawson Ski Club, Alpine Club of Southern Tasmania, and the University Ski Club. Ski clubs members help to maintain and operate the tows.
You will find three rope tows and one small surface lift in the beginner’s area. You may hire the tow belts for use with the rope tows on the mountain. They are available from the car park via a scenic 20 minute uphill walk through alpine forest. There is one of the steepest trails in the country. The area provides facilities for beginners, intermediates and expert skiers and snowboarders. Whenever the tows are operating trainer ski patrollers are on duty.
Numerous cross country skiing possibilities from Mount Mawson includes the Rodway Range, the Tarn Shelf and Mount Field West. Several public shelter huts lie in these areas.
