Plug Hole and Funnel ski runs, Mt Buller (top to bottom)

[@everyrun8680]

@elusiveserenity Nice one, have fun on your trips. Definitely start with the runs I suggested because Funnel and Plug Hole are a bit harder again, but doable. I'll try to get to Hotham and Falls this season for new footage and expand the channel that way. Stay tuned.

Hey mate, thanks for the channel - there's a severe lack of documented runs for the Aussie slopes beyond the greens and easy blues, so this is super valuable for me as someone trying to build up the courage to go down some black runs. I know the gopro always understates the verticality, but it looked like a relatively mild run from an angle perspective? Seemed the main challenge was the patchiness/holes to watch out for?

You're welcome David and thanks for your feedback! This is exactly the reason I created this channel and will be expanding it this winter too. Glad you're finding it helpful. Funnel and Plug Hole have moguls and are reasonably steep like other Mt Buller black runs. The challenge is also that the run is very narrow so you have to make tight turns, quickly. Keep control and ensure there's sufficient snow coverage, then you'll be fine. If you'd like easier black runs to cut your teeth on, perhaps give Men's Downhill and Summit Right because they're wider and regularly groomed, making good practice for steeper runs than your blues. I have videos on those two as well if you're interested. Good luck and let me know if you make it this season 😊

@@everyrun8680 Thanks mate! Heading up to Buller on Sunday to dust the summer cobwebs off doing ABOM laps, then got a week at Falls and Hotham each in August, with a lesson at Falls to help me transition to black runs. Finding im just gunning it down the blues the last couple years, I need a new challenge! Hopefully its a good winter and you can get some of the lesser run stuff recorded this season!

Great job!

Thanks! I haven't skied that run for years and was a bit hesitant given the ice and patchy cover. I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. Have you skied these runs?

[@StormyMusic9]

@@everyrun8680 Nope! Maybe next time. But I'm thinking of doing Thredbo next year.
