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!

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.
