Two and a half fun filled days of fun sport and friendship! The trip begins on Friday evening at dinner in Merrijig (venue TBA). This is a great time to get to know each other and discuss our plans for the weekend. The group is made of skiers and snowboarders of all abilities and we'll be skiing/riding on Saturday and Sunday. Beginners are most welcome! Typically we break into groups of abilities and cruise about the mountain and then meet for breaks and lunches throughout the day. 

This trip is very flexible. Come for all days of a portion of it. On Saturday evening, we'll celebrate Mass at the Alpine Chapel at 6:30pm.

What you need to do if you're keen to come along

Accommodation

We are staying at a lodge in Merrijig. Rooms are shared. Accommodation price is $120/person for 2 nights. Feel free to make your own accommodation arrangements, we can meet for meals, skiing on the mountain and all other group activities.

Spots are very limited.

Other expenses to consider

Lift Passes/tickets and Lessons

Go to the Mt buller website www.mtbuller.com.au/Winter/ to purchase lift passes and lessons if required. Purchasing ahead of time is a little cheaper and guarantees the ticket. Last season got pretty crowded so tickets ran out a few days before. Once tickets/lessons have been purchased online, physical tickets are picked up at Mt Buller on the day.
Ski Hire

You can hire ski gear (jackets/boots/helmet/skis/boards etc) at Mt Buller or Merrijig and Mansfield. If you're new to the sport, hiring on Mountain is more convenient for exchanges if the fit isn't right. Ski Hires can also be booked ahead of time on the Mt Buller website see "rentals".

Getting to Mt Buller

A few of us are driving up, we may be able to organise car pooling.

Don't feel like driving? You can find direct bus options here :

Driving there

There is a fee to enter the mountain, and you MUST carry chains. If chains are needed when driving, there are places that you will be pulled over in order to put the chains on. Chains can be hired in Merrijig, or almost any town from Mansfield. When you hire the chains, they'll show you how they are put onto the tyres.

Please purchase the mountain entry pass at least the day before, as there is a significant discount in doing so.
