Upcoming sporting events at Mt Buller

GRAB your skis and snowboards, because Mount Buller's annual sporting events have finally arrived.

From June 26 to June 30, Mt Buller's smallest guests can enjoy fun activities during Kids' Week.

Kids can practice doing a snow report, see a magic show, go twilight skiing, and enjoy movies at Mt Buller cinema.

Mt Buller mascots Blake the Flake and Barry the Pygmy Possum will be out, so make sure you say hello.

Close friends, family, colleagues, fans, and those showing their respect can spend July 8 celebrating Alex Chumpy's life in the way his friends believed he would love the most – riding and surfing.

Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin represented Australia in 2010, 2014, and 2018 Winter Olympics in snowboard cross, becoming a two–time world champion.

He also competed in the Winter X Games, the FIS Snowboarding World Championships for many years, and the New Zealand Winter Games.

Aside from snowboarding, Chumpy was remembered by friends as a great musician, ocean lover, and all–around generous human.

His life inspired many to live out their dream of snowboarding, and his passion for encouraging the younger generation was unrivalled.

This year, the Mount Buller community will celebrate his life on July 8, riding the chair, swapping some stories, sharing a lap and remembering the impact he had on the region.

The annual Adams Ski & Golf Day is held in early July at Mt Buller and the Mansfield Golf Course on July 13 and 14, combining two very popular sports in the region.

This long–standing local event attracts a loyal following of local skiers and businesses keen to support the local schools snowsports program.

Last year, $32,500 was raised, an incredible effort following two very challenging COVID years for local businesses.

The line–up included local business people, Olympians, resort staff and the focus was firmly on who could have the most fun on the ski race course and the golf course.

Avid snowboarders are also welcome to sign up for the 2023 Cattleman's Cup on July 19 to July 20.

The Cattleman's Cup is a two–day celebration of snowboarding, open to riders of all ages and abilities.

The event includes a Cattleman's inspired Rail Plaza Jam, Hip Contest and Race–Your–Mate Slalom Course, with many cash and prizes on offer.
