QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND: JUNE 12 - JUNE 14

WINTER starts with a bang, and guaranteed snow from this weekend. Mt Buller's traditional Opening Weekend is always full of fun and celebration - and this year we hope Mother Nature brings us fresh snow and ideal snowmaking conditions for everyone to enjoy.

Kick off the snow season with plenty of fun festivities, followed by fireworks and celebrations right across the mountain with lots of free entertainment and a long weekend of alpine hospitality:

* Wozza and The Magical Mountain show

* Live music from High Rotation

* Face painting and glitter tattoos

* Miss Twisty

* Village stalls

Planning to visit this long weekend?

Pre-arrange your accommodation if you wish to stay overnight – capacity is limited.

Pre-purchase your entry and parking – resort entry permits required from midday Friday, June 11.

Check Mt Buller live cams and Mt Stirling cams for the latest weather conditions and wheel chain advice.

KIDS' WEEK: JUNE 28 - JULY 2

All week long we're celebrating Mt Buller's smallest guests with special, kid friendly activities on offer each day. Mt Buller mascots Blake the Flake and Barry the Pygmy Possum will be out and about so make sure if you find them to say g'day.

MARK ADAMS SKI & GOLF DAY: JULY 2

Get some friends together to build your team of four and have a fantastic day on the snow, and the fairways, while raising money towards the Mansfield schools' skiing and snowboarding programs.

The RT Edgar Calcutta will be held the night before at the ABOM Moosehead Bar. Drinks start 7pm with dinner at 7.30pm which is a two course set menu and drinks at bar prices. Get your team together the night before to wax your skis, polish your clubs, help raise more money and get into the spirit of the event.

Stage 1 – SKI & SNOWBOARD RACING ON BOURKE STREET, MT BULLER:

Racing starts at 8.30am. It is not the fastest team that wins, rather the team with the least time difference between their 1st and 2nd runs in a Parallel Giant Slalom. It is consistency that counts.

Stage 2 – AN AFTERNOON OF GOLFING IN MANSFIELD:

The ski racing will wrap up around 10am and everyone heads down the mountain to the beautiful Mansfield Golf Club. Teams gather at the club from 11am and everyone heads down the mountain to the midday tee-off. The golf format will be four-person Ambrose. Again, it is a team effort with the best ball on each stroke counting. The day will conclude with presentations at the Golf Club rooms. So get your team together and register now as entries are limited. Your entry fee includes: Transport to and from Mt Buller, resort gate entry, race entry fee, lift pass, ski hire if needed, BBQ lunch and green fees. Online registration will be available soon.
