Notes

Hey, we're two young guys from Aus coming over for our first ski trip to NZ, we're doing an avy course and a bit of skiing down south. We're keen to get further up the south island to the club fields for a bit of pow. We're looking to fly from Queenstown to Christchurch and then head up to BR from there, for a couple nights skiing. Any help regarding getting up there would greatly apprecitiated. Cheers, Ethan and Max.

Information

OPENING FOR THE 2025 SEASON SOON! Warm temperatures have taken its toll on our lower elevation snowpack. We won't have enough snow to open this weekend (12 July). The good news is that we are in an unsettled weather pattern for at least the next week. Also, there is still snow coverage above about 1650 m. It won't take much to turn things around for the tussocky slopes of Broken River. Fingers crossed for next weekend (19 July).
