Buller 2009

Saturday was my first daytrip to Buller for the 2009 winter season. Tom and I made the trip up leaving Mt Ev about 6:15am.

Burnt Hut was icy and patchy on some of the side trails. We moved to "whiter pastures" around Emirates chair and found excellent snow. On the south side of the mountain (Wombat, LBS, Standard) the snow was excellent. I haven't seen it very often at Buller but the snow was like sugar, nice and dry.

Pick of the day would have to be "Standard" we we saw a nuff nuff take his board off and let go of it so it slid, out of control, down the run. Luckily someone saw it coming and literally dived on it to stop it.

All up, excellent day out.
