Mount Buller Alpine Resort
The Mount Buller Alpine Resort is a ski resort located on Mount Buller in Victoria, Australia.
The Mount Buller Alpine Resort is an unincorporated area under the direct administration of the government of Victoria, and is surrounded by the Shire of Mansfield.
The ski area around the town has a network of 22 lifts, capable of moving more than 40,000 people per hour - the highest capacity in Victoria. The highest lifted point is 1780 m at Grimus Chairlift and the base altitude is 1375 m at the Chalet Creek loading station on the Northside Express (formerly Horse Hill) chairlift. The lifts are owned by Buller Ski Lifts, a subsidiary of Grollo.
A Mount Buller Post Office opened on 17 February 1958.
Before 1984 Mount Buller was serviced by two lift companies that involved the skier needing to purchase two lift tickets to ski the whole mountain. In 1985, the two lift companies merged, allowing skiers to ski the whole mountain with one ticket. Today, Mount Buller is serviced by 22 lifts covering a wide range of terrain. In 1993, with an increasing number of visitors, the ski resort built a new quad chairlift called Wombat Lift on the skiers right of Little Buller spur to relieve the traffic on Federation triple chairlift. 2005 saw the addition of the Emirates quad chairlift to the lift network. A new six-seater chairlift was installed over the 2007/08 summer and is operational for 2008. This addition saw the decommissioning of one of the oldest chairs of the mountain — the Abom (previously known as Helicopter), along with Blue Bullet 2. In 2012 a new quad chairlift (Bonza) was built in the area of the old Burnt Hut T-Bar. A new carpet was also built. In December 2018 the construction of a new 6 seat chairlift commenced to replace the ageing Blue Bullet Quad, now called Bourke Street Express. A new Plata lift to replace the upper rope tow on Chamois was installed for the 2019 season.
In 2020, the construction of a new 100ML dam was completed, increasing snowmaking capacity across the mountain.
A list of all lifts that have operated at Mount Buller is at the Australian ski lift directory.
There are around 80 kilometres (50 mi) of groomed trails spread over more than 300 hectares of terrain. 25% is beginner terrain, 45% intermediate and 30% advanced. There are also 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) of cross-country trails accessible from the village. These trails also connect Mount Buller with Mount Stirling. Australia's first resort-wide wireless internet service was deployed in 2006 in the village, operated by Whispar. The project was abandoned shortly after.
