Snow comment:
CLOSED
Recent weather events have pummeled our snow pack, and we are quite pleased with how well the Broken River Basin has weathered the storms. That said, rain, wind, and even sunshine have put our towlines on life support. We need some snow and time to help our tow lines and skiing recover. We picked up a trace of snow overnight, but more is needed. We will be closed today and are hoping to get some more fluffy stuff this afternoon/evening. Think snowy thoughts!
The 5th Annual Barry's Bay Cheese Roll is on Saturday! Get ready to chase some cheese.
