Behind the scenes on Mt Buller - chairlift cable checks

Mt Buller mountain maintenance team works closely with lift specialists from Doppelmayr to thoroughly test all aspects of the lift infrastructure and run a series of routine checks before the lifts roll from the opening weekend in June.

One of the jobs completed recently is maintenance on the ABOM Express haul rope – which measures a hefty 43mm in diameter. The huge steel cable that carries the chairs along the lift line is systematically scanned and tested to make sure it’s safe and ready for the winter ahead. The ABOM Express lift line is just over 1000m long stretching from the Mt Buller Ski & Snowboard School to the upper mountain. The lift can carry around 3,200 skiers and snowboarders an hour when at full operation in snow season.

Mt Buller kicks off the snow season on the King's Birthday Long weekend in June with sparkling celebrations, skiing, snowboarding, schnapps and schnitzel - come and be part of it!
