On average, late August to early September is when Mt Buller reports the deepest snow cover on the majority of runs. This period does fall partly within peak season, so it's best to plan ahead and book early.
Mt Buller's Snow Guarantee gives you the confidence to book your snow holiday. It's a money-back guarantee on all prepaid participating accommodation, lift ticket, rental, lesson packages, toboggans park entries, and applies if there is insufficient snow cover.
For the best value, visit early and late in the season when there are special offers and savings like Kids Stay Free (under age 15).
Conditions vary season to season, and weather changes quickly on the mountain at anytime of the year. Keep an eye on the snow reports so you are ready for the conditions.
