Area Profile
Nelson Ski Club was formed in 1944. The access (or lack of it) makes Mount Robert and the operation of the Club unique. It is run on a volunteer basis with the Club members expected to pitch in on summer maintenance work parties and to generally assist with the duties during the winter. Although Mount Robert is a club field, non-members are always welcome. Access to the field is by way of walking (2 hours) or helicopter (2 minutes). Season opens weekends in early July and runs through late September.
