Jeremy Jones about to drop in to Mt Buller From page 1
“Though we can dress up for meetings, in the end we are pro athletes, dirtbags and diehards; for us, winter is not just a passion, but a way of life,” Jeremy said. “Right now, we have the luxury of worrying about how climate change might impact the outdoor industry. “Right now, we get to help dictate the outcome rather than react to a foregone conclusion,” he said. “If we sit on our hands for the next two decades, we won’t be worried about powder days, tourism or having fun. “We’ll be worried about the stability of our environment, our jobs and our economy.” Although Jeremy is on a private holiday in Australia he accepted the invitation from his friend Tony Harrington to come and speak. Jeremy will also speak about his passion for protecting the mountains he loves and why ‘we need winter’. Jeremy is also planning a ‘ride’ day in which he looks forward to exploring Mt Buller with local boarders and experiencing snowboarding among the snow gums. The Mt Buller screening is expected to book out quickly with tickets for this special one-night-only event now on sale at the Rip Curl store and Photo Shop at Mt Buller.

MORE SNOW - MORE VISITORS: Skiers take advantage of fresh snow at the top of Buller’s summit run after fresh snow falls - Wotif survey shows more people are choosing Mt Buller as a winter destination. PHOTO: Andrew Railton - Mt Buller
Mt Buller is top ‘moving and shaking’ holiday destination
MT BULLER has been named the top Australian ‘moving and shaking’ destination for families these school holidays, beating out warmer locations like Darwin and Brisbane for the top spot. These results came at the hands of a recently conducted ‘Wotif’ study, showing that online searches for Mt Buller have increased by 45 per cent this year. While Queensland remains a classic holiday destination of considerable popularity, 2017’s great winter weather has inspired more Australians to hit the slopes instead of the beach this July. This result matches the figures demonstrated in Victorian Alpine Resorts Entry Statistics
for winter 2017, which show Mt Buller saw 47,436 visitors for the week ending July 2, and a further 33,742 in the week of July 9, up from 42,860 and 37,480 respectively, at the same time last year. The findings have also been supported by local holiday booking service, Buller Holidays. “It’s definitely been a busy one,” said communications officer, Rhylla Morgan. Increased popularity may have come at the hands of Mt Buller’s recent introduction of a $1.6 million Technoalpin Snow Factory. Its acquisition makes this hot spot the second ski area in the Southern Hemisphere to have such technology, just
behind Chile and definitely the first for Australia. Mt Buller has also boosted its night time activities to keep the fun going for longer, introducing ‘Twilight Sessions’ on Saturday and Sunday evenings on Bourke Street and in the Village Square. The sessions include live entertainment in the Village Square, extended hours on the Bourke Street run, and tobogganing in Village Snowplay Park. Buller wasn’t the only chilly area to note an increase in visitors these holidays with Jindabyne in New South Wales also noting a 30 per cent rise, suggesting an increased interest in Australians for a winter escape.

Brandt brings “Three Years” to Buller SEALEY Brandt is coming home. A world renowned photographer, Ms Brandt has exhibited her art across the world. But she readily admits to feeling as nervous and vulnerable as ever, as she is about to exhibit her art in a place very close to her heart and where she grew up – on Mt Buller. Ms Brandt grew up on Buller since the age of four and says the mountain is the “love of her life”. She brings her work to Mt Buller from July 22 to August 6 at Alpine Central, where she will exhibit a cross section of her photographs from over the past three years. Brandt’s “Three Years” exhibition will showcase a variety of collections from her family portraits – a subject that continues to be her muse (she has photographed more than 1000 families to date) – and of her more personal adventures around the world where she has captured astounding images on amazing journeys. The exhibition will include a variety of collections from her family portraits, her journeys to Mongolia and Namibia, a Mt Buller series and Chamonix. Ms Brandt is known for capturing the essence of her subjects, however disparate, whether it is a deeply personal family shot or one taken in a far off place at an unlikely time.
The quality and longevity of Ms Brandt’s photographs are truly special, with her method involving darkroom silver gelatin prints, which is the only way to keep prints for generations to come. Delatite Wines and Wrong Side Brewing will be kindly sponsoring the event. You can view Ms Brandt’s incredible work on her Facebook (Sealey Brandt) or at her website sealeybrandt.com.
All are welcome to attend the opening at 6pm on July 22, and Ms Brandt will be giving talks about her life as a photographer July 26 at 9am, July 29 at 6pm and August 5 at noon at Alpine Central. Ms Brandt will also be selling and signing 10 copies of her wonderful photobook ‘Beautiful Children of the World’, of which there are only 20 copies remaining.
DOLOMITES MOUNTAINS – The world’s largest skiing region! INSPIRATIONAL IMAGES: Sealey Brandt’s “Three Years” exhibition will showcase a collection comprising of varying inspirations, from Ms Brandt’s family portraits to her journeys to Mongolia and Namibia. While the subject matter varies, Ms Brandt’s singular ability to capture life and fondness in her subjects does not.

Hydro a go at Telephone Box Junction By STEVE VIVIAN
S AUSTRALIA FIRST: Mt Stirling’s Telephone Box Junction is Australia’s first 100 per cent renewable powered Alpine Hub, after the recent completion of the micro-hydro power project on the mountain. X SUSTAINABLE STIRLING: There’s no more noise from the diesel generator as (from left) Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism, Major Projects and Regional Victoria Danielle Green shares her praise for the completed hydro project with Louise Perrin, environmental services manager Mt Stirling, and Dr Jacqueline Jennings chair of the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Resort Management Board. PHOTOS: Vesi Kupenova
Visitor numbers remain steady VISITORS to Mt Buller just keep on pouring in – and the season is not yet half over. Although weekly figures for visitors to the mountain over week five (to July 9) had numbers down by 10 per cent overall year to date figures are up by one per cent. On average over the past 10 years though numbers have risen by a massive 47 per cent. To date some 81,178 people have hit the slopes compared to last year’s figure at the same stage of 80,340 still beating the 10 year average of 55,411. The majority of visitors it seems are still day visitors, with many arriving during the afternoon. Visitor days, that is taken by the number staying overnight or longer, are down by some 6000 reflecting this latest trend. With heavier snow falls expected over this past week and interstate school holidays continuing (SA schools were still on holidays) visitor numbers are expected to rise and be back to normal.
MT Stirling’s visitor hub at Telephone Box Junction is now Australia’s first Alpine Hub powered year round by renewable energy. An off-grid micro-hydro power system has been installed on Mt Stirling as part of a state governmentfunded project. The completion of the hydro electricity project was acknowledged on Tuesday (July 18) with Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism, Major Projects and Regional Victoria, Danielle Green, on hand at Telephone Box Junction to praise the virtue of a self-sustaining Mt Stirling. A little over a year ago Ms Green announced $210,000 of funding from the state government’s $500 million Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund to get the project over the line. “This is money well spent,” said Ms Green. “I think it was appropriate that Regional Development Victoria contributed this money. “I would like to acknowledge the alpine community and their strength and passion to make this happen. “None of us who love the snow and love Victoria’s High Country and the alpine region want to do damage;
we want people to love it and we want other people to know about it and to love it. Chair of the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Resort Management Board, Dr Jacqueline Jennings, thanked key project members for their hard work. “It’s just marvellous for the recognition to take place on what’s been a lot of work for a very good cause, and it is much appreciated,” Ms Jennings said. Environmental Services Manager Mt Buller Mt Stirling Louise Perrin was over the moon that the project was completed. “So many people had incredible roles to play,” said Ms Perrin. “The people in this room are the tip of the iceberg, there’s also many people not here and there are too many people to name and individually say thank you.” Ms Perrin thanked Ms Green for her dedication to the project and the state government’s contribution. “This would not be here today without her assistance and passion for the hill that I think we all have, because we just really did need that little bit of money to get it done, so thankyou everybody, very much,” she said.

WHEN travelling up the mountain from Sawmill Settlement to the village, there are many landmarks that can very easily go unnoticed. Some have great history and stories behind them. Chalet Carpark, Dump Inn, White Bridge and Cow Camp are but a few. Each helps capture the pioneering spirit of the early adventurers that set the tone for visitors to our wonderful resort. Chalet Carpark was the site of the original Mt Buller Chalet. Today the car park is accessed on the left as one travels up the mountain, just prior to passing under the Northside Chairlift. But back in 1929 when the Chalet opened it was a seven mile walk or horseback ride from the bottom of the mountain. Helmut Kofler and his wife Maria travelled across from Mt Hotham to manage the new Chalet.

Helmut and his new wife Peg passed away in 1940, in a log trucking incident and shortly afterwards in 1942 the Mt Buller Chalet burnt down when a fire started in the main dining room. Today Dump Inn is the location that houses the Mt Buller gas storage facility, blink and you might miss it. However, from the ‘30s to the ‘50s it was an important transport hub. For those making the journey to Mt Buller Dump Inn was one of several interchange destinations, depending on the condition of the road.

He was quite a character and an enthusiastic skier, with stories of him building a ski jump on the opposite side of the valley and guests enjoying the view of Helmut and his friends launching off the jump. He was also behind the first run cleared on Mt Buller back in the ‘30s. He named the run Shaky Knees due to the reaction of guests he would take there. Kofler was known for being extremely protective of the Chalet’s fireplace, being aware of the dangers of fire in a wooden mountain hut.
People and suppliers from Mansfield and Melbourne would ‘dump their stuff’, it was then collected and transported up the mountain. In 1948 an accommodation facility was built on the site, this was refurbished in 1954 and renamed the Welcome Inn by Harold Cummings. Its existence was short lived as it too burnt down at the end of the winter in 1955 and was never re-built. In fact Harold decided to move to Tasmania and set about establishing the first ski tow on the island state at Mt Mawson. Cow Camp is another Mt Buller landmark and meeting place originally a place where cattlemen would meet and rest their herds. In 1930 the Ski Club of Victoria built a tiny hut in the clearing near the site of the Kooroora and used it as a day refuge for skiers. In 1946 an entrance porch, new chimney and two bunks were added in an effort to help ease the bed shortage on Mt Buller, though the hut also burnt down in 1951. More recently the Cow Camp Comfort Station was built on the site, just outside the current village plaza.

More lifts open equals more fun
MT BULLER skiers and boarders have enjoyed more terrain opening up this week thanks to recent snowfalls and now have 14 lifts in operation around the resort. Vision from the mountain posted on the website for all to see highlighted action in the Skyline terrain park, carving lines down the summit which opened on Monday week ago and skiers making the most of the sunshine and great cover ahead of the snowy fronts that rolled in on Thursday. The final weekend of the school holidays saw some fresh snow but also thousands of visitors to the mountain. Once again twilight skiing was enjoyed by many on Saturday and Sunday nights accommodating the late arrivals and giving families the chance to play longer.
On Tuesday the lifts that were open included ABOM Express, Blue Bullet Express, Bonza, Bourke Street Carpet, Cattleman’s Carpets, Gliders Carpet, Happy Feet Carpet, Howqua, Koflers, Northside Express, Skyline, Summit, The Fox and Wombat. As the season progresses and there are more snow falls more lifts will be opened - altogether Mt Buller has some 23 operating lifts. For all information and updates on lifts open and snow conditions go to www.mtbuller.com.au.

More terrain opens as snow continues to fall MT BULLER skiers and boarders have enjoyed more terrain opening up last week thanks to recent snowfalls which saw the mountain by last weekend running 13 lifts around the resort. Vision went online from the week’s highlights action in the Skyline terrain park, skiers carving lines down the summit, which opened on Monday, and skiers making the most of the sunshine and great cover ahead of the snowy fronts expected to roll in from last Friday. This week - the final weekend of the school holidays - looked set to bring further snow falls with more terrain anticipated to open following the top up. For full details, vision and photos from all activities on Mt Buller and Mt Stirling go to www.mtbuller. com.au.

SPECIAL DELIVERY: Natalie arrived for her wedding at the Alpine Chapel in Mt Buller’s CFA Oversnow vehicle - both Natalie and husband Hayden are CFA members.
HAYDEN Bloomfield asked Natalie, who regularly snowboards in the resort, to marry him at Mt Buller and they then chose to marry on the mountain in the heart of winter. The temperature difference couldn’t have been more dramatic from their Northern Territory
home where the two now live and work, and light snow fell on cue during the afternoon following the ceremony to add some winter magic to the proceedings. Both are volunteer CFA firefighters and Natalie received a ride to and from the chapel in the Mt Buller Oversnow fire truck
JUST WED: On Saturday, July 15 Hayden and Natalie Bloomfield took their first chairlift ride as husband and wife at Mt Buller following an intimate alpine ceremony in the chapel.
with several CFA well-wishers attending the ceremony. Natalie wrapped up in a bright red jacket for the chilly chairlift ride but the couple kept warm cuddling on the Blue Bullet chair with a “Just married” sign to share their happy news with the skiers below.

Mt Buller Trades & Services...
Nicole Haeberle exhibits on high at Mt Buller MT BULLER has a reputation for being more than a ski resort, and this season is proving no different. The vibrant arts community on Mt Buller has been working hard and this winter season sees the resort showcasing a range of these talented artists, and their diverse range of works in a series of exhibitions. Held in the Mt Buller Interpretive Centre, in the Alpine Central building, wellknown Melbourne artist Nicole Haeberle’s “Into the White� collection of paintings is currently on display. Haeberle’s work has a
strong focus on landscapes and travel, with her recent paintings inspired by the snowscapes of Mt Buller and Thredbo. Her artwork is showing until the end of this week and is available to purchase. Following Haeberle’s exhibition will be talented photographer Sealey Brandt’s “Three Years� display. Brandt’s work focuses on family portraiture and her overseas adventures to places such as Mongolia and Namibia. Brandt’s work will be displayed in the Arts Centre from July 22 to August 6, with an opening celebration taking place
from 6pm on July 22. Photographer and Mt Buller local Tony Harrington will then be showcased with his work “Buller & Beyond�. The collection shares an inside look at Mt Buller through Harrington’s lens, capturing the mountain in her many moods and from some unique angles. The photographs will be on display from August 12 to 27, and available to purchase. Rounding out the season, contemporary artist Colin Hyett will be showing his latest work once again after a successful Mt Buller exhibition in 2016. Hyett’s artwork and

Fresh snow brings on the snowball fights. Mark Payne, Ebony Greaves and Dan King from Melbourne made the most of the wintry day at Mt Buller. The wintry snaps have enabled big nights of snowmaking in the resort with more snow showers anticipated tomorrow. Mt Buller has seven lifts in operation and has been making the most of the snow since their early opening on June 2. Looking ahead the temps are going to stay low and there’s snow on the forecast everyday this week, let’s get our snow dances and help bring on the snowfall. PHOTO: Andrew Railton | Mt Buller
HOLIDAY FUN: Fergus and Eloise Spinks from Bronte were snapped skiing on Mt Buller last week during school holidays. Brotherly/sisterly love helped them down the slopes.

WITH fresh snow all around, Buller-bred sportswear brand Yuki Threads has launched a new range of stylish fair-trade organic cotton products. An innovation in the Australian snow apparel industry, co-founder Luke Mitchell says it’s been a work in process for some time. “Inspiration came along for a while‌ once you start asking questions you quickly ďŹ nd out the unsavoury things that occur behind closed doors (in the clothing industry), and know you’ve got to make a change,â€? he said. It’s an endeavour close to Luke’s heart. Together with his mates and cofounder Lani, winter after winter had been spent on the slopes both here at Mt Buller and in Japan (inspiring the name for the brand, Yuki translating to snow in Japanese). Spending your time like that, an appreciation for the environment grows. “You’re enjoying it, skiing and snowboarding, and you’ve got to take responsibility, to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible,â€? he said. When asked if manufacturers have a responsibility to produce eth-
STYLE & WARMTH: Yuki Threads’ new range of stylish fair-trade organic cotton products has hit Buller. Look for the yellow trademark of Yuki Threads.
ically and environmentally friendly products, Luke’s passion is clear. “100 per cent - that hits the nail on the head,â€? he said. “You can’t just go out and not consider the damage you’re doing in this day and age. “While in the past you could almost deny that you knew the environmental and social impact you were having, nowadays we do know. “And we know there are alternative steps we can take.â€? However, he has his own deďŹ nition of sustainable, and it’s one which even Yuki Threads fails to meet. Luke believes that true sustainability is when you give back at the same pace you take.
“You can’t achieve that when you consider all processes, but you can try harder and harder and harder, and get closer and closer and closer,� he said And that’s just what Yuki Threads is doing. Considering not just financial costs but also environmental and social, their new winter line is made from 100 per cent Fairtrade Organic Cotton, with one per cent of all sales going towards the ‘One Per Cent for the Planet’ campaign. The fleece they use for their trademark hoodies has altered for this to work, but Luke says the average wearer isn’t going to notice a difference. Moving to a manufacturer in India for their fair-trade practices, Yuki Threads redeveloped and recreated their fabric. It took a few attempts, but they didn’t stop until it met the brand’s high standards. The quality of products has been a big factor in the ever-growing success of the brand since its birth in 2010. Created to bridge the gap between mountain and street, the product line has grown from hoodies and beanies to include accessories, gloves and outerwear. However, if you ask Luke, the
biggest element to attribute to their success is the organic community they built around them. “(Yuki Threads) built the brand, but so did our customers,â€? Luke said. They came from within the industry, starting out on the slopes of Mt Buller themselves. “The brand comes from off the snow, but it’s built by the people on the snow,â€? he said. Their friends buying their ďŹ rst hoodies, founders Lani and Luke allowed word of mouth to keep building from there, taking the products from Mt Buller to Falls and so on. Each winter more and more of their trademark little yellow birds can be seen dotted on the accessories of mountain-goers, and their products are now stocked around the country. They’ve recently broken into the New Zealand market and are currently working on developing some technical products, but the key focus for Yuki Threads remains making positive change in the industry. Priding themselves on being more than just a brand, they’re setting out to educate customers about the power of their purchases, and delivering great products while they do it.

LEADING THE WAY: The Mark Adams Real Estate team of (from left) Mark Adams, Ray Lopez, Searle Batten and Peter Anderson were thrilled with their run times down Bourke Street in the ski component of the day, although they were placed ninth overall.

JUST HANGING OUT: Members of the Aitken 1 team (from left) at the bottom of the run were Mark Killender, Nerida Killender, Ntasha Ozolins and Sarah Ward.
Another massive day on the ski slopes and greens
A HUGELY successful day was again coordinated by Mark Adams for the annual ski and golf day held last Friday on Mt Buller and at the Mansfield Golf Club. Some $26,000 was raised which will be donated to local schools to help send students up the mountains for winter sports participation. “The money raised goes to the local schools and will give children whose families perhaps cannot afford to send their kids on the ski program the chance to take part,” Mr Adams said. “This year was very successful gaining more funds than previous years.” Eighty contestants making up 20 teams both skied their way down Bourke St on Mt Buller in the morning and then played Ambrose golf in the afternoon. As well there were little fundraisers along the way including a raffle. A Calcutta the night before, held at the ABOM on Mt Buller, saw very competitive bidding for buying teams - and as it turned out one person who only paid a princely
sum of $250 saw his team win the day taking home more than $3000 for his ‘bet’. Overall results went to the team aptly named Pazzazz consisting of Wayne Ritchie, David Jagger, Geoff Walker and Peter Creswell. Runners up on the day were the team of Dopplemayr - Shaun Turner, Grant Farmer, Jon Farmer and Jean-Claude Keipes. In the skiing side of the competition judged by the closest times between two runs down the slope were Pazzazz with only 0.016 seconds between them; second were Dopplemayr with a gap of + 0.463 seconds. Individual fastest times went to Roman Pacak (Buller Ski Lifts) with a time of 14.527 and 14.758; closely followed in second place by Dave Spiers (Rossignol) 14.748 and 14.747. In team scores for the golf component Icy Slicers took out the win with a net score of 49.50 off a combined handicap of 11.50; followed up by Bluebird Days 55.88 (handicap 9.13).
ALL GRINNERS: The overall winners on the day taking out the Mark Adams trophy were the team of Dopplemayr - Shaun Turner, Grant Farmer, Jon Farmer and Jean-Claude Keipes.

Mt Buller property news... Drive to the top and garage your car - Bella Vista will offer individual garages
GOING UP: Development of the Bella Vista apartments will commence in October, with the first stage being independent garages - up for sale now.
GORGEOUS VIEWS: The views from the Bella Vista apartments is nothing short of spectacular.
Top of the mount chalets top record sales By PAM ZIERK-MAHONEY WHITEHORSE at the top of Mt Buller has come up trumps with the top sale ever recorded. A record $2.65 million was paid for one of the Whitehorse chalets just last week. In the past three weeks three chalets have sold ranging from $1.55 to $2.65m. “All buyers are known to the mountain and are currently selling their previously occupied apartments to move to this very private gated community,” said John Castran of Castran Alpine. “More and more people are looking for that ski in/ski out accommodation and Whitehorse gives them that,” he said. “As well as open and very modern chalets this gated community is very privately situated with car garaging included.” This past summer period saw ‘six on the ground’ apartments for this development with stages one through to four all sold. “All up there will be five buildings each containing three individual chalets – 15 all up in its own complex. “This is the highest land for construction on Mt Buller and has taken some 14 years to gain permits and to get off the ground,” he said.
GREAT OUTLOOK: Each of the Whitehorse Chalets have a view over the ski fields - with ski in/ski out facilities right at the top of Bourke St. Castrans has also just announced a huge land auction at Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain. “Again this is the highest freehold land available in Australia with a range of building blocks going up for auction,” Mr Castran said. “We will be offering 21 freehold and leasehold vacant land allotments making this the most significant alpine land auction ever held in the Australian Alps,” he said. The land is being offered by the Mount Hotham Skiing Company and its associated entities.
The auction has been divided into three groups: The Freehold allotments at Mt Hotham; The Hotplate Drive/The Basin allotments adjacent to the Village Chair, Mt Hotham; and Lot 57 Dinner Plain being a freehold allotment. For full details contact John Castran on 0411 502 424 or email john@castran.com.au. SIX COMPLETE: With six on the ground one of these Whitehorse Chalets has topped the records in sales bringing $2.65 million.
EVER imagine driving up the mountain into a garaged carpark? Now is your time. Ready before the start of the 2018 season, Mt Buller welcomes Bella Vista, an exciting new mixed development on Summit Road offering garage car parking spaces for individual sale. The construction is proposed to commence on October 1 and should progress quickly and the parking will be ready long before the next season. The development is being developed by the Elliott Group of companies and designed by Salter Architects who are part of an experienced team on Mt Buller who have developed Gran Sasso, Majella and Buller Central. With more than 50 per cent reserved already Mark Adams suggests you hurry as they will all sell out prior to completion. Whether you own an apartment or are looking for one, a rare opportunity is available in a prime location to purchase a designated car parking space in a garage. Coming up on a Friday night with your family with the weekend’s
shopping and luggage can be painful and time consuming if you need to go back to tip corner. Once you own a car park you can drive up to the top of the mountain, go to your apartment, drop your things off and go back to the garage with your remote control door access and never have to worry about finding a car park. One of the most favourable features is adding value to your existing property while having a guaranteed annual 4WD parking permit through the Mt Buller Resort Board. If you own a unit without a car space then buying one will make your unit easier to sell in the future and be great for you while you own it. Plans for the Bella Vista apartments to be constructed above the carparks are due to be finalised by the end of August and pre-sales will commence shortly thereafter. Register your interest now and you will receive updates first on the mountain. Contact exclusive agent Mark Adams on 0419 858 007 or for further information visit www.markadams.com.au.
