Founded 02 June 1924

The history of the Ski Club of Victoria is a history of skiing in this state. When the club was founded, skiing, as a sport was almost unknown and what primitive skiing there was centred on the chalet at Mt Buffalo.

The primary goal of the SCV is to cater for its members but non-members are welcome as bona fide guests for the purpose of accommodation and food and beverage services.

A Manager and staff administer the club and our office is located at Mt Buller. The Manager reports to the President and a Board of Directors.

The SCV’s Ivor Whittaker Memorial Lodge at Mt Buller, known as “The Whitt” offers 3 star motel style rooms with private facilities plus a well appointed 1 bedroom apartment. “Kandahar”, our nearby ancillary lodge has comfortable self-catering accommodation for those holidaying on a budget. Both lodges are located on prime sites very close to Bourke Street ski run.

The SCV and the future
The club's board is currently working on a vision for the future. Plans are being developed involving a major renovation of its building including new public space and accommodation facilities.
