Mawson is located within the Mount Field National Park and about 1&1/2
hours drive from Hobart in southern Tasmania. The ski areas are at an
altitude of about 1250m and the area usually gets fairly consistent snow
falls during winter resulting sufficient cover for downhill skiing from
mid July to mid September.

STSA 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. Members of these ski clubs help to maintain and
operate the tows.

are three rope tows and one small surface lift in the beginners area. Tow
belts for use with the rope tows can be hired on the mountain. The tows
are accessed from the car park via a scenic 20 minute uphill walk through
alpine forest. This can often be skied on the way home. The area caters
for beginners, intermediates and expert skiers and snowboarders and has
one of the steepest runs in the country. Trainer ski patrollers are on
duty whenever the tows are operating.

are numerous cross country skiing possibilities from Mount Mawson
including the Rodway Range, the Tarn Shelf and Mount Field West. A number
