It will be a very different start to the program given the conditions, but we do plan to have a mix of on snow and dryland training on all scheduled days.
On snow, the Buller Ski Lifts Mountain Operations team has been working hard to initially get Bourke St open for the Kings Birthday Weekend, and since keeping it open — currently the only lift-serviced run in Victoria, and the longest run open in Australia. There will also be rail features in Gliders Park available for program use.
UPDATE - In order to maximise on-snow time across all seasonal programs and the public, Buller Ski Lifts will be running Bourke St Express Chairlift from 7am to 7pm! With some exclusive times (7am to 830am) for seasonal programs.
Off snow, we have exclusive use of the Buller Air Zone each day from 9am–12pm, and now in addition 2pm to 3pm, with groups rotating through alongside a range of other dryland activities.
