23.01.2022 Queen's Birthday (or previously King's Birthday) weekend traditionally marks the opening of the ski season. This year things will look a little different as we all make changes to ensure we continue to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We don't know what the season ahead will bring, but it's likely to be different than recent winters. Here's a couple of pics from the collection of previous opening weekends from a time when opening weekend was a low-key affair. ...

18.01.2022 Some home movies of skiing at Mt Buller in 1959-1960 for your #sundayfunday. Featuring classic 50s/60s ski fashions, sno-cat rides, rope-tows galore and the original Kooroora before the March 1961 fire. These years saw the beginning of the rivalry between blue and orange lifts; which drove tow and trail development and divided skiers at Mt Buller for 25 years, until 1985. We always love adding more detail to our collection records so if you recognize yourself or anyone else ...in the footage let us know! *** On Top Of The World At Mt Buller Mt Buller Snow Forum Mount Buller, Victoria SnowAction Ski Club of Victoria Australian Alpine Snowsports History Association TBR Mt.Buller Cinema Miss Snow It All SKI Magazine Ski.com.au Mansfield Courier Chris Hilton-Wood Kooroora Hotel Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort Management *** Film part of the NAMA Collection. https://youtu.be/y5BFrSUUsSg

17.01.2022 Vale Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin We are deeply saddened at the sudden and tragic passing of Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin yesterday. Our thoughts are with his family, loved ones, teammates and the snowboarding community. Two time World Champion, triple Olympian and flag bearer at the 2014 Winter Olympics Chumpy was an ambassador for the sport and mentor for future snowboarders. His humility, passion and achievements will continue to inspire generations to come. ... RIP Chumpy *** Chumpy at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

It would later burn down and Adams would buy the site building the current Arlberg Hotel, Mt Buller and Twin Towers in the summer of 1969-1970.

07.01.2022 Exploration, bracing air, romance and fun. Mt Buffalo in the 1940s and 1950s was Victoria's year round alpine playground. Scenic lookouts, a grand chalet, tennis and a spot of swimming are all on offer in this promotional video for Mt Buffalo, National Park.

05.01.2022 For #throwbackthursday we take a deep dive into one of Australia's earliest ski wear designers Rosalie Kiessling. Also a passionate skier and bushwalker she was famous for carrying a pack nearly as big as she was! Her designs were available in stores across south-eastern Australia and were well-loved by those who owned them. We think there's a few that would still look pretty good on the slopes, in the lodge or at the bar today! She toured around Mount Bogong, Hotham Alpine R...esort and Falls Creek, and was a member of Omega Lodge at Mt Buller *** #MtBuller #Hotham #FallsCreek #Thredbo #Perisher #BenLomond #BawBaw #lakeMountain #CorinForest #Selwyn #SnowAction #MissSnowitAll #Skiing #Winter #SnowAustralia #TBR #WinterisComing #SkiinginAustralia #Fashion #Skifashion #Apresski #skistyle #oldschoolskiing #1920s #1900s #1940s #1970s Australian Alpine Snowsports History Association Skiing History International Skiing History Association #showusdagirls Miss Snow It All Miss Snow It All #showusdagirls SnowAction Snowfox See more

01.01.2022 Vale We extend our deepest condolences to Graham's family. As we #stayhome to reduce the impact of covid-19 on our loved ones, friends and communnities, it has touched the NAMA community with your passing. He was a valued NAMA supporter; a regular smiling face with time for a chat at our weekly Apres@NAMA sessions and most recently donated his time to give the museum a make-over with a fresh coat of white paint.... #Vale Graham *** Apres@NAMA.
