Hot off the press and available now - Schuss: A Century of Skiing!
This publication is our homage to the pioneers, founding members, and the visionaries of skiing in Victoria.
In a time when the most common form of communications was still the humble newspaper, members shared their stories through the pages of the club’s yearbook that in later years became Australia’s leading ski journal, Schuss.
The clubs Schuss collection has been safely stored away for some time, preserving the hundred-year-old ink that tells a story that shaped an industry. There was no time better to share these captivating tales and triumphs than our 100th year.
Schuss was the innovation of Stan Flattely, Stan joined the club in its inaugural year and served as a committee member for 35 years. The remarkable achievement of Schuss can be directly attributed to the relentless effort, unwavering commitment, and immense enthusiasm displayed by Stan and the entire committee in refining every single edition. Schuss can still be found in various club lodges around the mountains, filled with century-old narratives that have united skiers from all walks of life.
This limited-edition centenary book shares over 75 original stories from the magazines, from the early trips of 1924 to the post war boom of Mount Buller. We encourage all members to embrace this amazing history and get your copy today.
