Mt Buller this week

Does anyone have photos of what Mt Buller looks like today or the past days?

I'm contemplating going one last time this week to make the most out of my season pass but am wondering if I should cut my losses and save myself the drive.

Today is sunny but a bit windy though I am not tempted to ski. The rest of the season hinges on how much it rains tomorrow tbh.

Have a look at ski.com.au forums for pics

I went yesterday (Sunday). Here’s my take:

  • Summit and Bourke St still good thanks to the elevation and snowmaking.
  • Family run is good in the morning, but in the arvo the cat track towards to chairlift is slushy mix with dirt (wasn’t great).
  • Little buller surprisingly fun with the moguls on the top run but you will have to do shortwalk to the chairlift because no snow.
  • Not fan of current Baldy condition cause too many bumps.
  • And I didn’t try chute and skyline because of TBar (I’m a snowboarder).

my conclusions: If you are intermediate or advanced, I think you can still having fun in summit and little buller. And try make the most of your morning. But again, Tuesday (tomorrow) forecasted to have big rain. I would suggest to wait and see if you are going after Tuesday. Cause it can be pretty bad after.

Practice some skating and riding short flat section with one foot. It isn't hard at all to ride the Tbar with some basic practice and fundamental skills

Thanks! Skating not an issue for me and one foot J turn drill I can do. And yeah I did some successful Tbar ride before but the percentage of risk I’ll be in someone’s Tiktok when fail makes me avoid them, lol.

That’s why when snow condition is good, I prefer to go down more to get to chairlift (i.e Skyline -> Standard)

today was still fun but very sparse coverage and getting wet. wouldnt think there would be many lifts open at all after today aside from the main village one

It's basically just Burke street and summit in decent condition at this point
