Snow comment:
We are OPEN! yesterday we saw 4cms of new snow at Palmer, and 10cms at the ridge!
The snowmakers (the wind) were hard at work turning BR into a blank canvas just waiting to have your beautiful turns painted down it! The skies are clear and the wind is backing off, this morning will be all time!
Today really is a bad day to go to work, so call your boss, then call your mates and come on up!
The tram is open from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm if you want to book into our lodges and guarantee yourself fresh tracks, visit brokenriver.co.nz
