UPDATE 27 AUGUST - event organisers of the Special Olympics National Winter Games regret to advise that due to reducing snow cover and the forecast for the coming week the event is unable to proceed on courses suitable for athletes to perform at their best.
Mt Buller will be hosting the Special Olympics National Winter Games on Friday the 8th of September and Saturday the 9th of September. It is the qualifying event for the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy in 2025. These National Winter Games are held every 4 years, the last one at Mt Buller being in 2015.

Friday will then be a free-ski day for the participants.
