The fresh snow has been dumping and is snowing beautifully now (Saturday morning) with skies forecast to clear to a sunny Monday.  The cold front has delivered perfect conditions for snowplay, tobogganing, snowman building and snowball throwing.   The Mt Buller Village Snow Play Park is open for sliding and fun on the pow!

The road to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling is open and entry is FREE allowing locals to enjoy this spring surprise. 

• Cars can drive to Mt Buller Village (road conditions and capacity permitting)
• All vehicles must stop at the resort entry gate for capacity and contact tracing, temperature and regional Victoria address checks
• Wheel chains may required and daily advice is posted here
• Please drive carefully and to the conditions. If you are driving slowly or fitting/removing chains pull over in the side bays to allow others to overtake.
