Winter 2022

First year with a Buller season pass. First year of kids seeing snow. First year back after covid? ... got covid first trip to the snow.  Massive amounts of snow in June and progressively less as the season went on. Failed to meet up with family continuously due to sicknesses/other. Ourselves got sick late August and wasn't able to finish up the season strong.  

Luke -- "I just realised in the last two weeks you have skiied more than I have in the last eight years... and I have a flaming season pass!"

MO. Leave 730/745. Arrive 810. Bus to BB1. Wait for opening lifts. Leave at 1015. Head to stirling for the whole afternoon. 




Crazy amount of early snow

First tracks all to myself. Where is everybody?

Oh. Found them all as I was leaving at 1030. 

If nothing else, first lifts gifts you golden cookies!
