Kosciusko Alpine Club (KAC) is the second oldest ski club in Australia after the Kiandra Pioneer Ski Club (1861). It was founded in 1909, two months after the NSW Government opened the Hotel Kosciusko at Diggers Creek, the first hotel in the Kosciusko area. The Hotel Kosciusko became the winter home of KAC until 1930 when the Kosciusko Chalet opened at Charlotte's Pass. KAC was the only ski club in the Kosciuszko area until 1920 when the Ski Club of Australia was formed. KAC pioneered ski racing at Kosciuszko in 1909 and in 1913 introduced the Summit Trophy for the fastest trip on skis, during a winter season, from the Hotel Kosciusko to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko and return (55 km). The Summit Trophy was the most prized ski competition in NSW until World War II. More information...
