Mt Buller's Snow Squad seasonal programs offer a full winter of on-snow fun, learning, and development for young athletes as well as children and teens wishing to progress their intermediate skills to the next level.

Snow Squad is designed to be an “all mountain” program, emphasising overall skills and refining technique so that participants can safely ski or ride anywhere, anytime, with confidence and expertise. Snow Squads are the first step in the development pathway for young athletes wishing to compete and/or specialise in a particular discipline down the track.

These programs offer outstanding value and enable children to ski or snowboard with the same group for the season. This allows them to develop a rapport with their instructors and other children, and makes learning a tonne of fun!

There are four programs on offer for kids: Snow Squad Mini, Snow Squad X, Snow Squad Rider and Snow Squad Evolution.

For the parents of kids in Snow Squad 2026 programs: Snow Squad Masters.

Details around each option are provided below.

UNIFORM

A Snow Squad Jacket is required to participate in the program. In order to provide better value and reduce the environmental impact, the Snow Squad program jackets will carry over from the 2025 winter season. The Snow Squad Jacket from the 2025 program will be applicable for the 2026 program (colour of the jacket is the pictured above). You may purchase a jacket when you proceed through our check out when buying online. A limited number of new jackets are available and ordered in advance in October 2025.
