Toboggan access changes again

LAST year’s system for tobogganing access on Mt Buller has changed this year, with bookings scrapped and people encouraged to turn up and play. While the previous system was a success, Buller Ski Lifts (BSL) opted to change it to simplify the process and allow more people to take advantage of the two parks on the mountain. “A wristband or a valid lift pass gives you access to both toboggan parks for as long as you want and for as many visits as you want,” Toboggan Park Manager Lucy Belfrage said. “Once you have that lift pass or wristband you can go in and out all day. “There are no timed sessions or booking; you just rock up.” Ms Belfrage reiterated the rules, which have not changed since last year. “There is no tobogganing allowed on ski runs, car parks or snow play areas,” she said. “Your own toboggans are not permitted on the mountain. “Toboggans are provided at the parks on presentation of your wristband or valid lift pass.” This system has been well received by all. “Guests are making the most of it; they are having a rest through the day and coming back and travelling to both parks,” Ms Belfrage said. “People are enjoying it immensely. “The system has really opened it up to maximise the fun people are having.”
