The combination of fresh snow and sunshine drew a bumper crowd up to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling this weekend.

Mt Buller opened more terrain following the 40cm storm earlier in the week, with Little Buller Spur offering long groomed laps for intermediate skiers and snowboarders for the weekend and good cover on all terrain open.

The resort held a special early Twilight Session with skiing under lights on Bourke Street until late on Saturday night.

The village was bustling with families and guests for extended Solstice celebrations including a stunning live performance by Karina Flow including a magical glowing fairy performance and thrilling fire show.

The free event drew a mesmerised crowd who stayed warm with toasted marshmallows around the village fire pits and took in the beautiful night sculpture walk featuring works from local artist, Caos Concepts.

Steadily improving snow cover at Mt Buller and Mt Stirling is great news for the region leading into school holidays with bookings rolling in and more snow on the forecast into the second week of July.
