Yup the lifts stopped on Sunday. The official ski/board season ended with a nice fresh snow dump. What a great season it was, the best since 2000 IMHO. |

Nice :-)I'd love to see/hear more reports of what is happening up there . . . We re booked in for a last hurrah, on the final weekend of the snow season. Hoping it will still be good :-) |

Much needed low intermediate terrain with a bit more (even easier) black side country options. Almost a shame really I reckon.... |

Hotham announced last night that Blue Ribbon is finished for the season, not surprising really..

I would expect Summit, Roadrunner, HV and Village next year.Gotcha is going to be an interesting install considering how cramped it is down there already. Why to people insist on stopping just around that blind spot as you come in at Warp speed 1 from Intiation? I ended up tangled in the slow sign once |

Agree with that but maybe not even Road Runner. I know it's bad form to come into the gates at a too high speed but those lift attendants barricading the entrance with their scanners were being very Bolshi some days and positioning themselves in silly spots. Re Buller had a few non reads at Holden this year and had to jiggle the card around a bit nearer the reader, but mostly okay. Overall I like the system. |

Yep Buller only installed them on the lifts you can directly access from accommodation for year one.At Hotham I would imagine they will install them on Summit, Big D, Village, Road Runner & Heavenly. Maybe Gotcha due to access from Loch Car Park? Leave Keoghs/Orchard for now, and not bother with Blue Ribbon, Summit Trainer & Playground. |

Buller spent extra on gates that read both sides of your body and a friend at Hotham confirmed they have ordered the same. Helps not having to dry root the rfid reader like I've had to elsewhere OS. But from what I understand..not all lifts are getting gates in one year...they are working on which "key" lifts are to get them first....I say summit trainer and the magic carpet for next year!!! |

Now just to work on how people queue! Will post as soon as I'm allowed - have a good relationship with Hotham and they've asked me not to tell just yet. Any idea when an announcement is likely CM? Seems like they've been sitting on it for a while. |

Rumours are the new lift is going on the 'Eagle ridge' out the back of Summit.When you ski off the top of the Keogh's lift, the area straight in front of you is the located where the new lift is rumoured to be going. On the one hand, it's got fairly ordinary aspect (i.e. north-facing). But on the other hand, its got lots of altitude. |

In terms of the Buller gates - yes the gates themselves work perfectly, but IMO on beginner lifts they need to be at the back of the queue - ie get everyone scanned and then work on getting them into 4's and on the lift. Only a problem at BB1 & Holden. |
