Well down here in Oz, after a slow start to the season it finally snowed down here. Which was bloody awesome for all the shred heads down here. Although things are looking grim again as we have had not much snow since.
So we were checking the weather all week and it was looking pretty crap. Rain all weekend and the freezing level was not dropping low enough to snow on the peaks. then on wednesday the system snapped cold and we were due for 25cm. everyone was pretty stoked on this news and we locked in a trip for saturday to our local hill mt buller which is 2 and a bit hours from melbourne.
The lifts were maybe going to open but because they had not organised anything they did not open, So i hike was needed. We hiked from the base of mt buller to the top of holder chair (mid mountain) . Then over to family run and went down for some fresh turns down the fire track. Then we hiked for about an hour over to a run called little buller spur. We were all tossing up as to go all the way down because we had to hike out, in the end no one cared and we got our shred on. we then hiked out which took around 2 hours.
all in all rad day and it was good to be back on the board.
