Terrain parks
Mt Buller Park has something for everyone, whether you like to ride the rails, try a new trick in the half-pipe, race on the boarderX course, or get air off one of the huge summit jumps, MBP is the place to be for freestyle fun.
Developed to suit all levels, the MBP allows riders to build confidence and practice and improve their existing skill set.
Kofler’s Park - The MBP range of beginner freestyle facilities are located in the new park at Koflers T-bar near the top of the Wombat Chair. We propose to have a range of rails that will allow those who are just starting out ease into the world of rails and feature fun.
Skyline Park - Intermediate rail riders and jump masters should head to the Skyline Park where rails, jumps and features have been primed for intermediate skiers and boarders.
Summit Park - Experienced riders should head to the Summit Terrain Park to try out the range of challenging jumps and terrain park features. This is not for the faint hearted as our Park Crew, let by Adam Edwards, create incredible features for those who really seek a challenge.
Highlights
Seek out the pockets of fresh powder between the trees on Wombat Bowl. Take a line down Little Buller Spur, the longest run on the mountain. Find your ski legs on the smooth terrain of Burnt Hut in the morning sun. Don a pair of snowshoes, hike to the Summit and watch the sun set over the valley.
