Burton Am Series Mt Buller

img_0646

Before the storm that was Saturday nights Cattlemans Rail Jam, a grip of amateurs weathered the storm to compete for the Burton Am Series title and a wildcard into the night Jam. When I mentioned storm, I really meant it, it felt as though it was -30 and the wind was cutting like a knife. That said, the snow was so good, most of the kids skipped the presentations in favor of a few hot-laps around the hill. Some of the winners from the Falls event showed up and tore the place apart again.

Full results coming soon, more photos after the cut.

Lunch, thanks Linton. The bread was more of a serviette than a meal, I am a carnivore.
