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
Looks like we’re in for a bit more snow. As we know Buller is in desperate need of snow, and the chatter I’ve heard from Falls and Hotham is that while they are far from dire straits a nice little top up will be just what the doctor ordered, as their lower, sun facing aspects
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
We were joking in the bar on Tuesday night that the deluge raging outside was payback for five stunning bluebird days in a row. Wednesday to Sunday were beautiful conditions all across the alps, and I was fortunate to ski for three of those five (Reports in the Snow Reports section). I wasn’t planning on

UPDATE: 6pm Sat 16th June: The last few days have been funny in the snow forecast corner of the Internet. It’s early season and we’re all keen. Dead keen. Weather was clearly incoming for this weekend, and man didn’t we know about it! But the funny thing is that this system is marginal at best
UPDATE: Friday 11:30am Last update before the long weekend – in a couple of hours we will be in the car on the way up to the hill. Snowmaking has been the story of the last couple of days with the resors all publishing pics of the guns in action: In addition to this snowmaking
Hotham Snow Report – Tuesday 29 May 2012 The weather from last weekend has well and truly cleared out and it has been sunny and warm the past couple of days, particularly today with very little wind about. No doubt everyone is itching to get back out there but given how far out we are
While the snowfalls of late last week were particularly welcome and made our mountains white, they weren’t quite enough to get things going on their own.
