What is a B-TAG?
A B-TAG is an RFID card that allows you to access the lifts of Mt Buller, it is reusable and can be loaded with lift passes, lessons and more.
Everyone skiing or snowboarding needs their own B-TAG with their own name on it. After obtaining your lift pass, place it by itself in your pocket (left or right - the gates can read it from either side) while on the slopes. The chairlift entry gates will automatically scan your B-TAG from your pocket. Ensure that you have purchased lift passes and attached them to your B-TAG. You can pre-purchase a B-TAG and add products online. Watch the video below for instructions on how to purchase.
Please note: Single Return Ride Sightseeing passes do not require a B-TAG for access.
As soon as you have your B-TAG we recommend you register your details online to keep it secure - then you are ready to make the most of your time on the slopes and skip the ticket office queues.
How to Purchase your B-TAG
Skip the queues by pre-purchasing your B-TAG online and then collect from one of the 24 hr B-TAG collection points as you arrive on the mountain.
Watch the video below for step-by-step instructions.
Using and Keeping Your B-TAG Safe
- Simply carry your B-TAG in your pocket.
- Don't carry your B-TAG in the same pocket as your mobile phone or near other RFID cards - they can interfere with the gates reading your B-TAG.
- Don't punch a hole in your B-TAG - it will damage the internal antenna and it will no longer work.
- Make sure your profile on the online store is up to date - if you lose your B-TAG we can replace it for $5 and you won't have to re-purchase lift access.
