Can anybody give a report on this line?   Does it work for our stilllwater chroni fishing?

It should as buzzers are what the Limeys call chironomids.

I am not sure if you have checked the specs, but this line is basically a sinktip line (the last three feet sinks). I personally use Rio's MidgeTip, and feel that it is the better line, as the tip section is clear - rather than being coloured, as is Snowbee's Buzzer line...

Here's a discussion on this very subject, that I had been following on a UK forum that I frequent: http://www.flyforums.co.uk/tackle-talk/25200-rio-midge-tip-versus-snowbee-buzzer-line.html

Sorry to hijack but, Todd, followed your link and then another link which led to buzzers for sale by a member named "Scratch". Oh my gawd, enough to make a chironomid junkie drool!

Now you know why I spend so much time on that site!
The first pattern is VERY appealing don't you think...

Absolutely, not to mention a couple from the 2009 collection, particularly the ginger and the bloodworm. The last thing I need is some new ideas for chironomid patterns but that's what I came away with!
