The weather during last week was pretty ‘special’ – gusts up to 140km/h & torrential rain meaning Wed/Thu were pretty much a write-off as far as skiing was concerned. The rain turned to snow around 1am on Friday morning, and by all accounts the skiing was pretty good on Friday arvo. We arrived that evening
After yet another ‘day of the week’ on Friday, due to Nicole ‘Chucking a Snowie’ at Hotham on Monday, another day off was going to be a stretch, so we had to content ourselves seeing the various Facebook posts from our friends and look forward to the forecast sunny weather. It was particularly gratifying to
Quick weekend report posted from the Glenrowan Maccas while we wait for one of our mates coming on our Feathertop trip. We bounced out of bed early on Saturday and were the first public on the Bull Run chair, while there had been further snow on Friday night it was definitely a case of ‘ya
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I woke up to blue skies. Rushed out the door, there were clouds around the area so I thought it would be short lived but it stayed blue all day. With Standard open the start of the ski day is far more palatable as I now no longer need to
The bulk of the snow fell prior to 10pm last night, when I left the lodge this morning my footprints from midnight were still visible. I got up early but when I looked out the window Bull Run was not yet turning at 8:30 so I decided not to take the risk and walked up
It’s rare that the drive to Buller warrants a Trip Report on it’s own, but today was an exception. Watching the weather over the last couple of days, it became truly apparent that it was time to drop everything and head up to Buller. This season has failed to excite in any way but we
A strange thing happened at Mt Buller on Saturday. The drive up on Friday night was eerily quiet, we left at the same time as always, and for the first weekend in August you would expect to catch the ‘conga line’ just out of Yea and follow the tail-lights all the way to Buller, but
Blue skies are a wonderful thing. The sunlight is energising, and instantly improves the mood of all basking underneath. They also have the effect of temporarily distracting you from the reality that it’s now late July, the snow is really rather crap, meanwhile all the other resorts are doing quite nicely. Icy, blue groomers are
After a truly revolting week of skiing, where Buller lost roughly one third of its natural snow cover – down to 26cm from 39cm – it was time to put the rain behind us and head up for the weekend with the promise of new snow in the forecast. Saturday turned out to be a
After my sneaky day trip on Thursday it was good to get back up again for the weekend with the good weather forecast. We started early and headed straight to Little Buller for some hot laps before the hordes turned up. Ski Patrol had a massive presence on speed control which was good to see.
