Snowboarding at Buller
Had a great day snowboarding at Mt Buller with Jed, Iao, John, Justin and Damo on Saturday. Blue skies, good snow (for this early in the season) and very few people. We only had to wait once or twice on the lifts and the runs were pretty much empty compared to July or August.
It’s a rort that the lift company can charge full price ($92) for a lift ticket when only half the lifts were running but that’s the Australian snow resorts for you. They do it knowing that when the sky is blue you’re only going to remember the sun, the snow and the great time you had rather than the hole in your wallet. (I won’t say it’s worth it just in case they read this.)

glad you had such a good day. I guess you hadn’t lost your touch as a snowboarder - is it like riding a bike - you just don’t forget how? Great photos too. Did Jayne have a girls day out?

You don’t forget the basics but I was a bit rusty. No big stacks but I was having trouble holding my heel edge and thus had the occasional slide down the hill. Jayne stayed home this time.
