Dear TBR Families,

In mixed news for the program, Mt Buller Lift Operations and the TBR Program resumed today for athletes living in regional areas.

Fingers crossed athletes living in the Melbourne Metropolitan area will be able to join us again soon.

A big thankyou to the Buller Ski Lifts Outdoor Operations team who did great work during the current lockdown period building athlete facilities and maintaining the runs for when operations could commence.

Mogul and Terrain Park facilities are now open for training, and today we had 14 lifts turning.

Events Update - jNats & Buller Slopestyle postponed
Unfortunately due to the uncertainty regarding Melbourne heading out of lockdown this Thursday night, both the jNats and Mt Buller Slopestyle events have been postponed.

Once new dates have been confirmed we will let everyone know ASAP.

FreeBOM

In more positive news, FreeBOM is back!

See article below for more information.

Fingers crossed we will all be out of lockdown soon, with FreeBOM our first big event of the season.

Victorian Interschools

An update sent out this afternoon by the event confirmed the following

Subject to Government directive and approval, the intent remains from all stakeholders to conduct the 2021 Mogul Ski World Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships from August 23-29 as scheduled.

We recognise there is significant uncertainty, however we remain committed to providing a safe and aspirational event experience for our Interschools snowsports community. On this basis a decision on whether the event proceeds on the August 23-29 dates will be made no later than Monday 16th August.

Looking forward to having everyone back up here soon!

Regards,

Andrew Pattison,

FreeBOM is back!

We've missed this awesome event that brings the Mt Buller ski community together.

This year with plenty of snow on Wood Run the event is looking great.

Sign up now to Ski, Spectate or Volunteer and join us to GET ANIMAL!
 
For those that have never FreeBOMed
FreeBOM asks competitors and spectators alike to free their animal spirit as we celebrate a day on Mt Buller with skiing and music. FreeBOM nourishes the Mt Buller community through inclusion and collaboration. At its core the event is about bringing people together to freeski with music.

CHECK OUT THE 2019 VIDEO EDIT

FreeBOM is open to all skiers of any age or discipline. FreeBOM asks competitors to ski with grace, passion and dance the line between chaos and control. The format is relaxed, competitors are required to ski down in front of judges, showing off their interpretation of FreeBOM and the Hot Dog philosophy. Prizes are awarded to all ages and genders based on skiing, dressing, airing, falling and FreeBOMing.

Bull Run Bowl’s Natural Amphitheatre is the venue and Wood Run the stage. Bumps, a bustling crowd, music and a chairlift over head shape this once in a season atmosphere.

In the event of lockdown
In the event of a lockdown that forces us to cancel the event or prevents some people from attending, we will refund all tickets to those that miss out.

Dear TBR Families,

RE: Extension of TBR Program

How great to see so much terrain open and excellent conditions on snow since we came out of lockdown!

We now look forward to working with the mountain to build facilities for TBR training and the events coming up later in the month.

As a result of the latest Victorian Government lockdown from Friday the 16th of July until Tuesday the 27th July  TBR Programs were required to be paused.

We are mindful many of our TBR participants and their families have had limited opportunities to train this winter and last due to the impact of the pandemic.

To give our TBR athletes the opportunity to catch up on the days missed on snow, TBR will extend the programs later into spring through to Saturday September 25.

Further information will be sent to each TBR package area on how the days missed will be utilised.

We look forward to a big spring, with favourable snow conditions thanks to a one metre base,more snow in the forecast, and a number of events on the calendar.

Regards,

Andrew Pattison,
TBR Manager
