In a stunning overnight development, owners of Buller Ski Lifts Rino and Diana Grollo have come to an arrangement with James Packer's Arctic Capital to purchase the Falls Creek and Hotham ski resorts.
However during due diligence it was decided that Falls Creek due to it's chronic lack of gravity will be repositioned as a Snow Play, XC resort with the world's highest Duck Pond and generator of inane press releases.
BSL's General Manager Laurie Blampied is quoted as saying "This is a wonderful development for skiing. We will be able to offload all the bogans and ferals to their spritual home at Hotham, get rid of all the tobogganners to Falls Creek and continue to concentrate on serving Melbourne's elite. Don't think of coming if you're not in an X5, ML or Cayenne"

It should be very good..... I saw the press release, and they are going to have a common season lift ticket for all three mountains, plus the same season parking ticket.

Buller, my home mountain, fun as, but as flawed as any out there.

So the Buller wanchors will still be safe in Wanchorville without the pesky scum from Hotham and FC, sounds like paradise on earth.

Carveman, that is the best post I've read in all my years on this website!
Go on Ian, post it in your news headlines.
It's not like any of the "Big Five" resorts advertise with you anyway, so you won't be alienating any advertisers!

What still concerns me though is the hoards of bogan day trippers from Melbourne infiltrating the resort as they do year after year. Maybe they could be moved on to Baw Baw.

What are you talking about? X5's and ML's are allowed in.. I'm sure they don't mind some povvo Audis making up the mix.
