Molonys Ski shop Melbourne - Inspired Skiwear

Since 1854

What began over 160 years ago with a small family-run shoemaking enterprise has now grown into a skiwear shop, redefining Australian winter style.

We have a rich heritage, and having lived and breathed the mountain air for years-on-end, we offer you our extensive experience in winter apparel – both on and off the slopes.

The Beginning

Established in 1854 in King Street Melbourne by J. Molony, the family owned business of Molony’s initially specialised in shoemaking. But it was really through the family’s passion for winter sports that the true seed was planted, and helped to shape the future of alpine retail within Australia.

Family History

Molony's deeply rooted love for the winter season can be traced back to the grandson of Mr J. Molony himself, Edward (Ted) Molony - a renowned ice-hockey player of the 1920’s. One generation later, Geoff and Gweneth Henke (formerly Molony) took the reins – with Geoff as a National ice-hockey team member (pictured), and Gweneth representing Australia at the 1952 Olympic Games in Oslo, Norway.

The Olympics

Years later, in 1976, their daughter Jo, was to become an Olympian herself, skiing for Australia in the Innsbruck Winter Olympics: the family alpine tradition was now not merely a passion, but was to become inextricably linked to their business.

Elizabeth Street

Over a century passed after their original store opening, and in 1959 Molony’s moved to Elizabeth Street, opposite the Melbourne GPO building. It was with this transition that the former shoe business transformed into the leading ski shop in Melbourne, retailing “everything except the snow”.

Dinner Plain

Over the years Molony’s in Elizabeth Street expanded, opening up new premises in Falls Creek (1960), Mt. Buller (1969) and eventually, Dinner Plain (1985) – the only freehold mountain village above the snowline. As Dinner Plain grew as a village, so too did Molony’s, bringing with it a ski lift, ski school as well as hire and retail, and an unwavering devotion to the Molony’s family heritage.
