First snow for 2025 season

27 May 2025: It’s starting! The first snow of the season landed across the resort this morning adding a touch of chilly magic as around 5cms of fresh snow transformed the mountain in ‘winter mode’.

The official opening of the season is only 11 days away when Mt Buller can guarantee skiing, snowboarding, snowplay and beginner lessons from Saturday 7 June.

The resort has made 10,000 cubic metres of snow since 31 April and now it appears Mother Nature is doing her part.

The King’s Birthday long weekend will see sliding on Bourke Street ski run, sightseeing chairlift rides on ABOM Express, fireworks and a gathering of our alpine community to celebrate winter Olympians amongst plenty of après parties and festivities.

“This snowfall is right on time and it’s wonderful to have the mountain feel snowy this morning as we countdown to the opening on the King’s Birthday long weekend,” said resort spokesperson Rhylla Morgan.

“The snowmaking team have produced that all-important ‘season-starting’ snow to get us sliding from day 1 and it’s great to see the weather patterns starting to line up on cue.”

This year marks 75 years of the Mt Buller Ski Patrol and 40 years of the talented Team Buller freestyle team and coaching program.

The calendar for the winter is already brimming with a mix of events on and off the snow. Check out the pre-opening après party at Villager, get your tickets for dining events, comedy nights, Snow Sisters dinner, Interschools, Slopestyle events and so much more.

It’s time to make your winter escape plans, grab a deal, book that accommodation and stir up your favourite snow people for a winter to remember.

A few tips >

• Grab a 6 Day Any Day pass for a great price and great flexibility to come ride when you want this winter
• Snap up mid-week lift passes to save and ski off-peak
• Get in early to secure your accommodation of choice - as the snow falls the bookings will flood in!
• Kids Stay Free in June and September - it's a good time to get the kids off the screens and onto the snow
