Mt. Buller (VIC), Australia - Australia’s Mt. Buller is opening its ski resort to the public five weeks ahead of schedule this Saturday and Sunday, for skiing and snowboarding on the 35 cm (14 inches) of early snowfall blanketing the ski area.
?This is the earliest we?ve opened a lift and ski run in the history of Mt. Buller resort. The closest was 45 years ago when we opened on the 16th of May in 1964,” said Laurie Blampied, General Manager of Buller Ski Lifts. ?It?s so exciting to have such early and extensive falls so we decided to seize the opportunity, open up early for a special weekend and share it with everyone.?
As of press time, Mt. Buller will be the only ski resort open in Australia this weekend. None of the country’s other ski areas in Victoria or New South Wales have announced plans to open. After receiving up to 40 cm of new snow, Mt. Hotham recorded Victoria’s coldest April temperature ever at -8ºC.
A three-hour drive from Melbourne, roads are clear and open to Mt. Buller and there is currently no resort entry fee.
Buller Ski Lifts will have its new six-seat Holden Express chairlift in operation for skiers, boarders and also sightseeing on Saturday and Sunday with equipment and clothing rental available in the Ski School building and the Arlberg Hotel.
A special lift ticket price of AUS$20 will be offered, and the ski area will be open this Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3 only. Season passes will be valid

Stumbled across this web site while cruising Kevin Zacher’s blog (here).
Remember Blotto (here) saying something about this a couple weeks back, mentioned that one of his homies was starting this poster biz and that “the print quality was really nice.”
So yeah, this site www.id-prints.com, is selling surf, skate and snow posters. Right now they’ve got images by Blotto, Cole Barash and Kevin Zacher for sale. Some sick photos and they’re reasonably priced.
Think I’ll drop in on a couple come pay day. The ripped-out mag pages on my bedroom wall are starting to yellow.
Big Ups for Barash

Cole Barash was recently listed as one of PDN’s Top 30 emerging photogs (here).
That’s a big deal. Probably not too many other 21 year olds on that list.
Or “action-sports” photographers, for that matter. But of course Cole would end up on the list, dude deserves it. Been slaying that shutter for some time now. Sure this season was no different. Can’t wait to see.
Here’s some links to Mr. Barash’s work, so you can get that Cole fix before next years mags start rolling out.
