The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Detailed description of the ski resort
After the drive through the National Park you arrive at the paking lots, 2 km in front of Mount Buller Village. Now you can take a free shuttle bus (no luggage transportation) to the lifts and to the Village. From the Village you can take the new high speed six person chair up to the mountain. From here you can ski down to the "Southern Slopes". On these slopes you find nice intermediate runs through the forest. Quads and Triples take you up to the mountain. The Summit Quad takes you up to 1790m, the highest point in this ski resort. Here you find advanced runs down to the Summit Quad. The Howqua Quad or the Koflers T-bar takes you back to the Village, but don´t forget to ski down the nice Wombat Run. A quad takes you up again. Now you can change to the "Northern Slopes". The Triple Chair "Grimus" takes you up to the top, too.
With the Horse Hill Access lift, a detachable quad with gondolas (very good if the weather is bad), takes you to the parking lots. The last run down in the Village is an easy run and takes you in the middle of the Village. At the end of the skiing day you can go in one of the restaurants or bars to enjoy a drink...
