| Sking
and Snowboarding
Mt Buller’s ski area is vast and varied! Protected
beginner runs, ‘cruise control’ intermediate areas,
challenging black runs and the vertical decent of our double
black diamond chutes are of world standing.
Our grooming crews are renowned internationally. Many leading
overseas resorts recruit our grooming specialists for their
northern winter. With a fleet of some 15 modern snow cats,
our crews work all night long preparing your playground. If
you like smooth corduroy, we have acres of it waiting for
you to carve up each morning.
Mt Buller’s snowmaking system has the highest capacity
in Australia – Which means we make more snow for you
to enjoy and of a quality second to none.
We have one of the most advanced lifting systems in the Southern
Hemisphere. Some 25 lifts including 13 modern chairlifts.
Rest in the air, but not for too long! Our fast moving lifts
give you maximum time on the snow.
Terrain
When it comes to skiing and riding, Mt Buller has steeps,
deeps, chutes, long cruisers, and gentle family runs. We cater
for every level of ability to ensure your ‘on snow‘
experience is a memorable one.
Parks and Pipe
Boarders and skiers will rock and roll in our terrain and
rail parks and our half pipe at Boggy Creek. Geographically,
our hill is filled with natural launch pads, hits, cornices,
cliff drops, and ridges. – Mt Buller is just one big
natural terrain park.
Telemarking
Most of the new crew call it ‘Free Heeling’.
Just as snow boarding has been a revolution to the mountains
over the last decade, telemarking has now popped up as the
latest ‘thing to do’ with a new generation of
snow goers.
Whilst telemarking dates back to the origins of skiing, new
technology in skis, boots and bindings has made the sport
user friendly and extremely rewarding in the challenge to
master.

Snowtubing has become an international family pastime over
the last five years. At Mt Buller we have two snow play areas

top of the Horse Hill chairlift offers excellent access from
our day car parks. Our second snow play area, the'White &
Wild' Snowtubing Park, at the top of the Blue Buller 2 chairlift,
is supported by a rope tow to pull you back up the top. Snowtubing
is free for all guests with a valid sightseeing lift pass
or normal ski/board lift pass.
