ABOUT US

The South Australia Ski Club was founded to “promote the enjoyment of skiing”, in an era when accessing the snow in Australia was challenging. Today skiing and snow holidays have changed. Access to the mountains, ski schools, equipment and accommodation have all greatly improved. It is very easy for people to book package ski trips and do their own thing. The Club, however, offers much more than a ‘packaged trip’. It provides enduring friendships with people who have a shared passion for the mountains, snow, and skiing. It is an opportunity to learn new things, to travel to familiar and new mountain areas, and to enjoy shared experiences throughout the year.
The Club does not have its own ski lodges, but has access to private lodges in Victoria and elsewhere, which are normally cheaper than commercial chalets, especially considering group discounts. In a normal year at least two annual ski trips are arranged for members to resorts such as Mount Buller, Hotham and Falls Creek and to an overseas destination. The Club holds several meetings over the year; most of these are short and informal, with the Annual General Meeting a more formal affair. Meetings provide the opportunity to plan upcoming trips and social events, and to exchange information about ski resorts, snow conditions, and equipment. The Club has a long tradition of active participation from its members. New members are always welcome to continue this tradition.
