Mt Field

Mt Field has some good backcountry skiing, and it is relatively close to Hobart (an hour and a half). Don't worry about the rope tows, the backcountry is much better.
With a decent cover the touring around the Mt Field area is great. You can do a circuit around the Mt Mawson area, or follow the Rodway Range right out to Mt Field West.
There are also a lot of steep backcountry runs. Be careful on the Golden Stairs when it is loaded - there was a death due to an avalanche in the 1970s.
