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.^[4] It is situated at around 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) above sea level^[1] 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.^[5]
