Ben Lomond, 1,570 m AHD (5,151 feet), is a mountain in the north of Tasmania. It is east of Launceston in the Ben Lomond National Park, and is one of two skiable mountains in Tasmania. The wikiski listing of all Australian ski tows including Ben Lomond can be found [http://wikiski.com/wiki/index.php/Australian_ski_tow_directory here] .

Its accessibility from Launceston, together with the existence of a ski village on the plateau make Ben Lomond an all year round favourite for tourists and hikers. Access to the village and summit can be made via several walking tracks or via a zig-zag road known as "Jacob's Ladder".

The name is taken from the Scottish mountain of the same name.
