A great weekend of competition in the Mt Buller Park in ideal conditions, with sunny skies, no wind and a fantastic course.

Well done to all competitors, especially the younger and inexperienced kids who stepped up on the bigger features/jumps. 

Great to see how much people all competitors have improved from last season.

We are set for the most terrain in years for the first weekend of TBR commencing this Saturday!

At 730am this morning the Ski Patrol reported 23cm of fresh snow, and it has been snow since then, so close to 30cm of new snow as I type! 

Stay tuned for an exciting announcement later today from Buller Ski Lifts on another lift opening just in time for this weekend!

JACKET & SOFT SHELL COLLECTION
For any TBR athletes who have not yet collected their jacket, TBR 2025 Karbon jackets will be available for collection on the following days/times before the program commencing. New black soft shells will also be available for collection - if you have not yet purchased, click here to do so.

June 27 - Friday Afternoon
Time: 3pm to 430pm
Location: Top of Chamois/Lydia Lassila lift hut

June 28 - Saturday Morning/First Day of Program
Time: Jacket collection from 830am
Location: Village Square (TBR Meeting Place)

Can't make the two options?
Contact TBR Manager Andrew Pattison (patto@teambuller.com) the day before you arrive on the mountain, and he can arrange to bring to the TBR meeting place on your child's first morning on snow.

Reminder to anybody that signed up to TBR Friday as a standalone product, your jacket is now included in the package/price. Before the first TBR Friday session, we will let people know if any brand new jackets are left from this year or also last year for purchase.

TBR MEETING PLACE & TRAINING TIMES FOR THE 2025 SEASON

Meeting Place: Village Square
Morning Session: 9:00am to 1145am
Afternoon Session: 1pm to 3pm
Note: Please be at the session 10 minutes prior to the start of the session as groups depart on time.

GROUPS
With a lot of new athletes joining the program, the first weekend of the program will predominantly be used to assess which group athletes are best suited to.

Skills assessments will be conducted in the school holidays on all athletes, covering a wide range of on snow skills, and freestyle specific actions like jumping, carving on groomed runs, moguls, park, rails etc..

The head coaches from each program area will work with the coaches to place athletes in respect to age, ability and mix of genders.
