Information
We are OPEN today, but we are having issues with the tram/inclinator. This means you will have to walk from the carpark up the road/foot track to the ticket office. We hope to have it fixed real soon! Patrol has sampled the wind buff, and it is good!!! Come on up! The snow machines (westerly wind) turned on overnight! The wind blown snow is refilling the basin. It's going to be a great day of skiing creamy, wind buffed snow. The coverage up here is great and all of our steep terrain has filled in nicely. Book into our lodge for the full New Zealand clubfield experience! Great meals, gorgeous mountain views, and good times. Go to brokenriver.co.nz to get your spot.
