Snow comment:
Broken River is CLOSED on Wednesday and Thursday of this week for staff training and to get ready for an extended period of stormy weather. We are planning on re-opening on Friday. It looks some great days are ahead with cold westerlies as far as the eye can see. The forecast for BR is for 15 to 30 cm by the end of the weekend with more snow piling up next week.
We are running extended hours on the tram/inclinator for Friday evening for all you powder hounds wanting first tracks on Saturday. Come on up get a bunk and a great meal and fresh turns on Saturday morning. Friday evening tram hours are 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Next weekend's lodging is booking up quickly. Go to brokenriver.co.nz to grab yourself a bed for next weekend's fresh snow. You won't find a better deal to ski, stay, and have a great meal than at New Zealand's club fields. There is nowhere in the world quite like it.
