With the season on it’s last legs, we can start to look at the post game performance of the Hero pass and Buller Season Pass, an area of hot discussion during the pre-season. The most exciting thing is what the introduction of the HERO pass means for Hotham skiers, could great developments be in the
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.

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.
Yesterday was a ripper – Instagrams hashtagged with #aussieskier were rolling in from all 5 major Australian resorts and they were stunning. aussieskier.com/social & our Facebook Page were inundated with bluebird shots, of note were some sent from Hotham’s Gotcha/Orchard/Extreme Area literally within minutes of it opening for the season.
