Snow often falls in winter and lies on the ground for a few weeks between July and September, when members of the UCTMSC have in past years operated a private ski tow in the vicinity of Waaihoek Peak. The club maintains two huts in the area. Both were built by students, who carried most of the materials up the mountain on their backs. The older and smaller structure, built before the Second World War, is called Pells Hut. There is a newer and much larger hut somewhat higher up the slopes. This structure, Hoare Hut, was built c. 1970. (en)
