Buller officially opens for summer

MT BULLER officially launches its summer season this Saturday embracing the start of a long cool summer and celebrating with a weekend of walking, riding, bike shuttling, disc golfing and… snowboarding! [No, not a typo.]

The Summer Shred Sesh at Mt Buller on Saturday, December 2 combines the best of both seasons.

A terrain park for the snow shredders is popping up on Bourke Street for the day while the mountain bikers will be shredding on the bike trails, the pump track and the giant air bag in the village.

“The Shred Sesh was a smash last year so it’s great to have it back and start summer with a dollop of snow as well as all the green season activities we’ll be enjoying up here in the coming months,” explained Mark Bennetts, COO Mt Buller Mt Stirling resort management

“The joy-per-square-inch that was had on the snow last December made it a no-brainer to do it again.

“There are passionate locals counting the days to the event, the snow pile is growing and the Mt Buller Parks team are rising to the challenge of creating this unique chance to ride a terrain park in Australia in summer.”

Alongside the snow experience, the giant airbag will see MTB/BMX crew sending it large to celebrate the official opening of the full mountain bike season and Blue Dirt Shuttles operating pick ups from Tirol and Mirimbah.
