WELLINGTON SKI HUT

The Wellington Club had a ski hut near the Pinnacle. Built around 1940, not long after the completion of Pinnacle Road. Members overnighted in it after a hard day’s skiing. The Hobart Walking Club also built a ski hut-Luckmans Hut. There are also reports of a ski hut near Bracken Lane in the early 1900s, but nothing is known of it.

Each run (four were made) was cleared by hand of boulders and trees. Cross-country courses may also have been taken.
