Mt Buller News
WHEN the snowflakes started falling on April 20, Buller Ski Lifts and Resort Management Board made the decision to start up the snow making factories and get a head start to the white coverage that snow lovers relish.
By the end of April the mountain had received a second snowfall; a teaser for skiers and snowboarders impatient to get back on the slopes.
And towards the end of May further light snowfalls were recorded – all good to make a solid base for when the real snowflakes fall.
Cold snaps have brought a light cover of fresh snow and Mt Buller’s ‘SnowFactory’ helped out with huge mounds of snow taking shape on Bourke Street ski run.
Mt Buller is pulling out all stops for this opening weekend to stockpile snow and get guests sliding earlier if conditions allow.
Mt Buller’s SnowFactories can make snow in any conditions and produce up to 330m3 of snow per day, building an important stockpile to build a base for skiing, boarding and snowplay.
