KOOMERANG ’ S FOUR LODGES ARE READY FOR THE SKI SEASON
THE FRESHLY-REPAINTED KOOMERANG MOUNT
BULLER LODGE
The Koomerang Ski Club was founded in 1957 with a group of Old Boys and Scotch College teachers constructing the first lodge at Mt Buller . The club still occupies this site , with the rebuilt lodge offering 42 beds in a prime position on Summit Road . The lodge is currently being renovated to offer guests upgraded accommodation , including brand new ensuites , which will be ready for the current ski season .
In addition , Koomerang is uniquely positioned as a ski club , with lodges at four resorts . Other lodges are located at Falls Creek , Mt Hotham and Thredbo , NSW , providing members with a choice of mountains to visit .
While the winter ski season is the peak time to visit Koomerang and enjoy Australia ’ s alpine resorts , we are seeing growing demand for mountain biking , hiking and bushwalking in the summer , particularly as resorts invest more in year-round accommodation .
Membership is available to current Scotch schoolboys and their families as well as Old Boys and their families . There is a variety of options from schoolboy to full membership and associate categories for those just interested in summer holidays . The nightly accommodation rates are very attractive and provide an opportunity to enjoy the snow without a material investment . Enquiries for new membership can be directed to the Membership Secretary , Hugh Maxwell-Davis (’ 87 ): membership @ koomerang . com . au and other enquiries can be sent to me : president @ koomerang . com . au ROBERT BRUCE (’ 88 ) – PRESIDENT , KOOMERANG SKI CLUB
