New Snow Guns Arrive at Mt Buller

Mt Buller has welcomed the arrival of six new fully automatic SMI Puma snowmaking guns ahead of the 2014 winter season.

The arrival of these new guns, which will produce eight times more snow than the previous models they will replace, completes the automation of our snowmaking infrastructure on the northern side of Bourke St.

The five replaced snowmaking guns have now been relocated to the Baldy and Kofler’s areas, significantly improving the snowmaking capabilities on these parts of the mountain.

Thanks to our significant and on-going investment over the past few years, Mt Buller now boasts an extensive world class snowmaking system of 219 snowmaking machines across the resort, including 141 automatic guns.
