Manyalluluk kids loved first snow experience SEVEN children from the remote Northern Territory Aboriginal community of Manyalluluk visited Mt Buller last week and saw snow for the first time. Mt Buller businesses worked together to give the children warm clothing, transport and equipment rental to make it a memorable experience, and the excited children embraced the challenge of a ‘First
Attentive Staff
Timers’ lesson at the Mt Buller Ski & Snowboard School. The children were overjoyed by their first snow experience and thrilled to discover their fingers would not fall off “if they got too cold”. General manager of Buller Ski Lifts, Laurie Blampied, welcomed the visit and was pleased the resort was able to support the children.
Convenient Location
“We are delighted to have been able to play a part in supporting this first snow experience for a special group of kids who’ve travelled a huge distance to visit Mt Buller,” he said. “I am sure they will create memories and experiences from this visit that will stay with them for life and Buller Ski Lifts is happy to have been able to help make that happen along with so many
Competitive Rates
other generous community members and businesses.” Located roughly 500kms south east of Darwin, life in Manyallaluk is very isolated and means children have little experience outside their remote community. Teacher Stephanie Baker wished to expand the children’s horizons through a trip to Melbourne, providing them with a story to tell for the rest of their lives.
Long Opening Hours
Ms Baker also has family in Mansfield and the children stayed with the Bakers while in the high country. Beyond their visit to Mt Buller, the children also spent time at the Melbourne Zoo and saw a live production of “The Lion King”. The trip was largely funded through fundraising efforts and spanned 10 days throughout the end of July and early August.

The best job on the mountain By LIZ WEBB GUEST services at Mt Buller is what all jobs should be – fun, purposeful and providing a reason to get up in the morning. The famous yellow coats at Mt Buller, worn by guest services personnel, represent help, information and troubleshooting. Guest services comprises people who have generally worked on Mt Buller and who act as the frontline workforce, meeting, greeting and problem solving for guests who
visit the top of the world. Team leaders Kate Barnett and Steven Jones have been in their positions 10 and 6 years respectively and still love every day. Kate explained “guest services is a unique department, whilst our main job is to present a friendly face and helpful advice to visitors, importantly, we liaise with all the other BSL departments, particularly Ski Patrol and the lifties�. Steve added “many of our ‘yellow jackets’ have been with us for years and their mountain knowledge is remarkable�.
“All our guest service helpers genuinely like people and have an amazing amount of patience.� Just when guest services started is debatable, but apparently 25 years ago (when both Orange and Blue lift companies were operating) a group of helpers in pink jackets, started directing visitors and answering questions. Today guest services has eight full time employees and 25 volunteers including Frank (15 years) and Wally (10 years). First time visitors to the

More snow lifts hope of more visitors
Mt Buller Eagle Pack Sled Dog Quest a moving success MT BULLER hosted the Eagle Pack Sled Dog Quest last week across two actionpacked days. Teams from around Australia and New Zealand participated in a demonstration on two set courses. Four, six and eight dog teams lit up Bourke Street at twilight on Tuesday evening with spectators surrounding the course hoping to see thrilling action during the race. And in perfect sunshine on Wednesday, teams embarked on a longer course, which took in stunning views of the Mt Buller Mt Stirling and surrounding valleys. Based on time trials, Stephen Potter from New Zealand was the winning racer with his four dog team. Pictured is Mt Buller resident Brett Hadden competing in the first time Mt Buller Eagle Pack Sled Dog Quest. PHOTO: Andrew Railton – Mt Buller
LOST HIS WAY: This poor seagull has either been blown way off course or perhaps hitched a ride with someone and did not know where he was heading. Whichever way you look at it seagulls are not commonly seen in the snow – particularly hundreds of kilometres from the ocean. By sitting in the middle of the road perhaps he was hoping to hitch hike his way home again. PHOTO: Buller Parking.

MT BULLER resort management, along with Buller Ski Lifts, hope recent snowfalls will lift visitor numbers. The latest Victorian Alpine Resorts entry statistics for this season show a small decline in numbers across the board for all resorts, possibly due to the late arrival of good snowfalls. Mt Buller figures for week eight of the season were down seven per cent from the same time last year and overall for the season down some five per cent. Total numbers for all resorts were down by 13 per cent with Mt Stirling and Lake Mountain – understandably because of only accommodating cross country boarding and skiing – down 25 and 27 per cent respectively. Surprisingly the figures for the number of days visited – meaning some have stayed over for more than one day have been steadily rising. During week eight some 36,714 visitors stayed on the mountain for more than one day, however, this is still slightly down from the same week last season by some 5000, or down by 12 per cent. Now that the mountain has more than 80cm of snow covering the runs it is expected that many more will flock to the resorts over this month. And with Interschools and race club events all happening throughout August, it will be a busy time for all.

Mansfield students onsnow science at Mt Buller STUDENTS at Mansfield Secondary College’s Mt Buller Annex had a unique and inspiring five days of activities provided by ‘BioLAB’ last week. BioLAB is a Science and Mathematics Specialist Centre (based in Geelong) and set up under the Victorian Government’s ‘Energising Science and Mathematics Strategy’. BioLAB provides on-site science and mathematics programs with a theme of “Human Performance and Sport” and are designed around various Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths career pathways and are tailored to cater for multiple curriculum areas. Across the week MSC students were set up with heart rate monitors and GPS units during their on-snow training each morning, with data downloaded each day. Data included minimum, maximum and average speed, metres per minute, altitude and vertical metres, aerobic and anaerobic zones compared to speed and heart rate, and where on a run this all occurred using a map overlay. Students were able to investigate performance analysis and improvement as well as the human cardiovascular system,

focusing on the heart and circulatory system, introducing applications of medical technologies and exercise science equipment. They learnt about their own cardiovascular system, collected and analysed their own heart rate data using graphs, and mathematical analysis techniques. The ‘Eye in the Sky’ session exposed students to leading edge GPS athlete tracking equipment including real time feedback system measuring distance, speed and heart rate. Students utilised laptop and iPads for skills-mapping and biomechanical analysis, generating their very own primary data sets in areas such as work
to rest ratios, movement and locomotor patterns, and skill frequencies. Three staff members from Deakin University Engineering Department also conducted engaging workshops, including looking at how technology is used on-snow and challenging students to develop ideas in improving equipment and components they use on-snow, as well as how technology can be used in product redevelopment including the use of 3-D printers. Clothing system evaluation and materials testing was also another practical component. Students had the chance to perform a number of industry tests which gave them an in-
sight into human physiology, thermal imaging, textile and fibre testing and development of cutting edge sport equipment from concept to the consumer. A final workshop included classroom based equipment testing analysing the hydrophobicity of ski and snowboard bases as well as on-snow based practical evaluation of waxing. The students certainly had an engaging and wonderful insight into relevant applications across maths, science and technology, health and sports biosciences. They will continue work utilising data as well as tasks they will complete across the remainder of the term. The BioLAB team were a dynamic and motivating team and together with the expertise of the Deakin staff, have certainly inspired the students, who are hoping to utilise their services again next year. Mansfield Secondary College Annex staff and students are grateful to Buller Ski Lifts who provided lift access and equipment for the visiting staff and Mt Buller Alpine Resort Management Board who provided resort entry and classroom space as well as to the coaches from TBR, MBRC and TSC who helped with the on-snow logistics for data collection.

Mt Stirling instructors retain the crown
GETTING READY: Competitors (above) in the Mt Buller Adventure Race gear up for the start. OFF AND SKIING: Mt Buller Winter Olympian Anton Grimus (left) sets off in the Adventure Race, coming in second overall.
MT Buller celebrated the annual Mt Buller Winter Adventure Race recently, Two ski instructors from Stirling Experience, Mart Polluste and Mattis Jaama recorded the fastest time overall, using only XC skies (no lifts) and beating all the other competitors on snowboards and down hill skies. They retained the crown won by Stirling Experience Estonian instructors who won the race last year. Mart and Mattis had previously only been to Mt Buller for a few hours prior to this event. Asked about the weather conditions, Mattis said “not too foggy - like a usual Mt Buller Day”. At the last checkpoint on Whisket Creek Run they also had to take their skis off as they had run out of snow. Mart and Mattis really appreciated winning new skis and a cash prize. Most of the dollars won were returned to Mt Buller - probably at the Kooroora. The race is a fun and exciting single day event that sees competitors participate in a navigational adventure race around the Mt Buller snowfields. Starting and finishing from the Mt Buller Village Square, competitors navigated themselves around the resort to search for a series of checkpoints across the mountain. The event featured 11 teams of two and four singles, with up to 26 participants in total. Mattis Jaana and Mart Polluste came in first with an incredible time of one hour and 14 minutes, followed closely by Mt Buller’s own Olympic skier Anton Grimus. Teams trickled into the finish line over the course of the day, with presentations taking place at the Mt Buller Cinema prior to the Back Country Film Festival screening.

BACK ON THE SLOPES: Winter Olympian Belle Brockhoff returns to her favourite mountain this weekend to promote beyondblue and to enjoy a run down the slopes.
Winter Olympian guest for big beyondblue day
OLYMPIC snowboarder and beyondblue ambassador Belle Brockhoff will be raising awareness of depression and anxiety at Mt Buller this Saturday, August 8, as part of a beyondblue day on the mountain. Belle will also be racing in the first of the SCV Club races this Saturday at 2pm on Skyline. A beyondblue marquee will be set up in the Village Square throughout the day (11am-3pm), offering free beyondblue information and the chance to meet Belle (1pm-2pm). There will also be a performance from former X Factor runner-up Andrew Wishart (2pm-3pm), and $2 hot chocolates sold to support beyondblue. Visitors to the marquee
can also enter a competition to win a group snowboarding session with Belle on Saturday afternoon. beyondblue is grateful to Buller Ski Lifts and Mt Buller Resort Management for supporting this event, and to the fantastic Belle Brockhoff for being involved. By continually sharing her story, Belle is helping to break down stigma around depression and anxiety. Belle said she is excited to be representing beyondblue on her home mountain. “From my own experience, I know just how important it is for people to be aware of the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety and to be ready to take action when they recognise they are struggling,” she said.
“I look forward to chatting with people about this and hitting the slopes with some keen boarders.” Belle finished eighth in the snowboard cross at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, the most successful snowboard cross result for Australia at the Games. She was also the only openly gay member of the Australian Olympic team in Sochi and spoke out against Russia’s anti-gay laws. She became a beyondblue ambassador in 2014, to share her story of depression and anxiety in the hope of inspiring others to speak up and seek support when they are struggling. In a show of support for this event, Buller Ski Lifts will rename its iconic ABOM Express Chairlift the ‘beyondblue
Tech Wash® Wash-in cleaner for waterproof clothing and equipment
Express Chairlift’ for the event. In the evening, Mt Buller beyondblue Day will continue with a fun night out at the Moosehead Bar and Bistro, downstairs at the ABOM Hotel and Restaurant (7pm-10pm). There will be live music from Andrew Wishart and comedy from Fox FM breakfast host Dave Thornton. The event has a $5 entry fee, with all funds raised donated to beyondblue. All money raised on the day will help us continue our important work supporting people with depression and anxiety and their families, including the beyondblue Support Service which is available by phone 24/7 on 1300 224 636 or via webchat (3pm-midnight AEST) or email at www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support.

Buller will extend shuttle services for events on at night MT BULLER Resort Management has extended shuttle services to accommodate skiers and snowboarders who want to attend just the night skiing or special events such as the dog sled demonstrations. Questions were raised recently when free shuttles were not available to the car park after dog sled demonstrations ended. There were people who went up especially for this demonstration as it was advertised far and wide but then had to pay full price through the gate, and then taxi fares on top to get back to their cars. ARMB chief executive officer John Huber said it is normal practice for the resort to extend car park shuttle bus times during events to
encourage guests already on mountain to stay longer, as well as encourage those that are off mountain to attend the event. “There was, however, an oversight which meant that this did not occur for the sled dog event,” he said. “In regard to twilight skiing, in response to feedback from resort guests, the RMB has extended its Village to car park shuttle service to make it easier for people to participate in twilight skiing. “As twilight skiing is available on Wednesday and Saturday nights from 5:30pm – 8:30pm (subject to snow and weather conditions), the RMB will extend this service from 6pm until 8:30pm, and the Saturday night shuttle will be extended from 8pm until 8:30pm.

Museum status is worth celebrating THE National Alpine Museum of Australia (NAMA) on Mt Buller celebrated its recognition as a fuly accredited museum by Museums Australia recently with a cocktail party - where else but at the museum. Many were in attendance to help celebrate this momentous occasion. LEFT: Robin Pennington, Richard Smith, Shirley Bloomfield. RIGHT: MUSEUM TALK: The museum was the topic between Stuart Worn, Karen Farrell, Paul Shipley, Greg Bentley, Trudee Anderson and Frank Ketjen.
BULLER FROM HEAVEN: This is Mt Buller seen like never before - well if you were in heaven you may look down on Mt Buller like this. This amazing photograph was taken from ‘Captain Phil’s’ office flying at 25,000 feet on July 31 at 2.30pm. Truly a perfect white capped mountain in all its glory.
FIRST RUN: Mt Buller’s photographer, Andrew Railton, was out early to capture the first skiers of the morning last weekend - and with plenty of fresh snow this lucky skier had the slopes and fresh powder to himself.
A wish come true ENJOYING COCKTAILS: Shane Short, Wendy Magee and Jenny Hurs enjoyed the evening.

CHIEF WAS THERE: Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort Management Board chief executive officer John Huber attended along with museum curator, Michelle Stevenson and Michael Monester.
YOUNG Hannah Davies had one wish - to see and experience real snow. Through the Starlight Foundation Hannah’s wish came true recently when she and her family made the trek from Perth to Mt Buller. Hannah has had lifelong kidney issues resulting in a transplant. Starlight brightens the lives of seriously ill children and their families, by replacing pain, fear and stress with fun, joy and laughter. Linda, Hannah’s
mother said “We had an unbelievably fantastic Starlight Wish, and Hannah had an absolute ball. “The highlight was the dog-sled ride but there were so many great experiences. “It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are. “Starlight is an amazing organisation, blessing so many kids and their families, and we are so grateful also for the generosity of the Mt Buller community.”
“LONG WAY FROM HOME: The Davies family of Perth, Western Australia, were enjoying fresh falling snow last week when snapped by photographer Mark Woodsford on Mt Buller.

STARTING YOUNG: It’s never too young to learn to ski especially when your school is at the base of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling. The prep class from Mansfield Rudolf Steiner School started their cross country ski lessons last week - with plenty of fresh white powder to soften their falls - and gain great experience and teaching from the instructors.

WHO’S COLD?: These either very brave souls – or very insensitive chaps – apparently did not care that snow was all around and the temperatures were hovering around one degree Celsius when they arrived on Mt Buller. The open sports car was the way to go for them – at least they had the best view of the fresh snow on the ground – just as well they were well rugged up. Or perhaps they did not know how to work the roof. PHOTO: Buller Parking

Snow in the suburbs at Ashburton By LIZ WEBB
PROTECTION: Choose the right helmet for your head protection - and match it with goggles.
Helmets, helmets, helmets ARE you the odd one out who’s not wearing a helmet? Or if you have one when was the last time you updated it? My point is skiing / snowboarding helmets do have a limited life. They are designed to protect us from serious head injury should we encounter a heavy impact. A helmet that has had a heavy knock may need to be replaced, just like a bike helmet does. An older helmet that may have a few dents on the outside or even a crack in or slightly compressed foam lining should be retired. The next hard hit maybe the one when it fails to protect you adequately. Fit, not colour or style is still the most important feature. A loose helmet may not protect you as well and you won’t want to wear one that is uncomfortable.
DANCE LIKE THIS: Entertainers performing ‘Frozen’ dances kept the crowds entertained.
Helmets are becoming a bit of a fashion statement too. I know a few who own several so that they can match their outfit for the day. Your goggles need to fit with your helmet so I recommend that you have your goggles with you when trying to fit a new helmet or vice versa. Simply try a few different shapes until you find the one that fits comfortably snug. Be aware that it only takes a little pressure to create a headache. At Bumps we have an extensive range. Ski/ride safely in control and above all have fun.
WHEN you can’t make the trip to Mt Buller, the next best thing is Mt Buller coming to you. On Saturday, August 1, Mt Buller dumped 10 tonnes of snow in Ashburton Shopping Centre and hundreds of families got to see, touch and taste the ‘real thing’. Ashburton traders love hosting this annual event and this year, Mt Buller’s Blake the Flake was joined by Elsa, Ana, Christoff and Olaf characters. ‘Hello World Ashburton’ supplied a day trip to Mt Buller (courtesy of APT tours) and judging by the enquiries, many Ashburton families will be off to Mt Buller this September. Mt Buller also held a very successful ‘Snow Dump’ day in Springvale, with thousands attending a full street day Community Festival and Snow day. Spreading the ‘Snow Word’ helps create a whole new generation of winter sports enthusiasts.
SNOW IN THE SUBURBS: Hundreds of Melburnians flocked to the Ashburton Snow Day recently to feel, touch and even taste the real snow - fresh off Mt Buller.

Bigger, better and earlier film festival on offer in August
j/51d02543/32-15
MT BULLER Short Film Festival is set to be bigger and better this year – and is earlier than usual. To be screened next Saturday, August 15, the short film festival will also screen an encore of the best films from the previous five years. Festival director Mark Ashkanasy said the festival is usually held towards the end of the snow season but they found that by this time many regular skiers and visitors to the mountain had gone home and it was mainly mountain staff that attended. “This year we decided to hold the festival earlier in the aim of catching many of the regular visitors to the mountain,” Mark said. “But we will also be running a second event towards the end of the season so that mountain staff can attend this one,” he said. The festival is now in its fifth year and is growing each time. As an encore introduction piece some of the best films from previous years will be shown before the competition entries of this year are screened. “Now that the cinema has gone fully digital we can include a wider selection of films - from all around the world,” Mark said. “We are also a sister festival to the Mets de la Wack in France at which this year some of our Australian entries were shown - and we will be showing again
some of the French short films. On board again this year are partners in the festival Mark Woodsford as deputy director and Steve Thompson as the technical director who is in charge of putting the program together. “We are looking forward to a full house this year and there will be an interval with drinks and nibbles,” Mark explained It is also hoped that the star of the award winning short film Sugar Mountain, Watkins McLennan, will be able to attend this year’s festival. Watkin spent months in preparation for his adventure skiing in Alaska. Watkin and company travelled to Alaska in winter to ski and film its famed Chugach Mountains with the mission to document the entire experience. Sugar Mountain is the story of eight friends who leave behind their urban latte-lives to exist – alone and unassisted – for a month on a remote glacier in the Chugach Range of Alaska. The film follows them as they climb, ride and explore the surrounding “peaks of possibility”. Sugar Mountain stars world class skiers including Chris Booth, Watkin McLennan, Tim Myers and Miles Clark. It showcases an original, award winning score by Geordie Miller with client liaison, and artwork by the prolific Celeste
Byers of California. Also on the short film festival agenda are clips from Chris Hilton-Wood who recorded lots of events in Mt Buller’s 1960s era and is a well known face around Mt Buller. The Perputal Trophy to the winner of this year’s Mt Buller festival will be awarded by Hans Grimus - if he is able to attend - and if not then by his son and Olympic competitor, Anton Grimus. This unique trophy is dedicated to Hans Grimus, and early filming on Buller. Mark said he is excited with the entries for this year’s festival and it will be interesting to see which is voted the best. “We gave a task to the primary school children who attend school up here over winter and they have an entry this year,” Mark said. “We went in and worked with teacher Lesley Dunlop doing tutorials on story boards, writing scripts and then shooting movies - all planned out properly. “This locally produced short film will be presented for the first time at this year’s festival. “The secondary college annexe will also produce a short film but that is not expected to be submitted until next year,” Mark said.

Memories of ‘Candoux’ Mt Buller Club
By LIZ WEBB A REUNION of Mt Buller pioneers - Mike Tinsley, Don and Robbie Taylor and Yvonne Ouser (Raphael) met at The Whitt to reminisce about the old days when they formed Candoux Ski Club. Candoux Ski Club was built in 1962.
Located opposite the Mt Buller Chapel (built much later), Candoux had 24 members and was regarded as the ‘most luxurious lodge on the mountain’ with its six bedrooms, bathroom and communal area. A committed group of long time Buller skiers including Mike, Don and Vaughan Lucas built the lodge in just 14 weekends.
design home
e
Their stories were amazing to hear. Mike first came to Buller in 1956 and stayed at the ‘Junior Ski Club of Victoria’ located at Chalet Car Park. Yvonne (who is 93) first skied at Buller in 1939 when they used to trek up the Klingsporn track to reach the summit to have a run or two.

Robbie came to the mountain in 1966 and was taught to ski by Ernst Forras. And the name Candoux? Apparently Cando is a Western Australian Aboriginal word for a meeting place and because they all had a love of skiing in France, they decided to add ‘ux’ to Cando. Candoux was born.
THERE is a special place on Mt Stirling where people just love to spend the weekends. And school kids find this place intriguing and fun – and they’re not playing cricket either – despite the fact that it is called ‘the cricket pitch’. The Alpine Camp is situated at the cricket pitch – just 2kms from the Summit of Stirling and in reliable snow. It provides a wonder ski-in, ski-out experience with tents and teepee fully
erected and equipped prior to your arrival – you only need to bring a sleeping bag and some food. Many local families, school and Scout groups have enjoyed this on-snow experience for some years now. Enjoy sharing stories of your excursions around the warm pot belly stove in the teepee – the meeting place for after skiing days. The café at TBJ is now open every day. So for a great experience in the snow – go to Mt Stirling.

Three questions you need to ask when buying an Alpine apartment By DAN FLYNN, partner at TressCox Lawyers OWNING an apartment in the snow is a dream for many keen skiers and boarders. Waking up in your own apartment to see the snowcovered gum trees or returning after an exhausting day on the slopes and falling into your own bed – this is the dream. But romance aside, buying an alpine property is a commercial decision and we have the top three questions you need to ask. 1. What am I buying? Buying an alpine apartment
is different from traditional sale and purchase of land because the mountain is (mostly) owned and controlled by the government. It is called ‘Crown Land’ and is leased to companies and individuals on a long-term leasehold basis. The most typical form of ownership on the mountain is for a company to hold a lease from the government (head lease), often referred to as a lessee company, and individuals purchase shares in the company which entitles them to a sublease of an individual apartment. You should note, the term of
your sublease will only be for as long as the company’s lease, so always check how long is left to run on the head lease. Many newer subleases can now be registered with the Land Titles Office to provide a clear and safe security. A most important reason to know what you are buying is finance. The type of leasehold arrangement for alpine property has a significant impact on whether banks are prepared to lend. A registrable sublease is encouraging for the banks as they can register a mortgage in a
transparent and secure manner. 2. What are the outgoings? When purchasing an apartment within a body corporate, you must carefully consider the building’s outgoings including: electricity, upcoming repairs, insurance and management fees and what proportion of those you will be required to pay. Heated driveways and footpaths can be a luxury, but also expensive to run. Always request a copy of the annual budget for the building. This will detail insurances, land tax, maintenance budgets, management fees and other expenses you will be liable to

combinations and some are simply own your own. If the building does not have a compulsory letting arrangement, we recommend taking your time to consider which letting arrangement or management suits you best. If a compulsory management agreement is required, check for overall management fees, and whether these are inclusive of third party agents and suppliers. Any other questions? TressCox Lawyers are able to help and advise with any of your proposed alpine interests and transactions.

contribute towards. 3. Investment returns - what is the rental arrangement? As well as a wonderful lifestyle choice, an alpine apartment can be a good source of rental returns. If the site lease is held by a lessee company, it will have a company constitution which governs the operation and management of the building. Often, these constitutions will regulate how you may sublet your apartment to holiday and seasonal tenants. Some properties have compulsory management and letting agreements, some allow
