Information
Broken River is OPEN today. We received 2 cm of snow on Friday, freshening up the snow surface a bit. Under the new snow is firm conditions. This afternoon, temperatures warm and we expect to see softening across the entire mountain. The Access Tow is now closed, so you must walk to Palmer from the ticket office to begin your ski day. We're also expecting more snow on Sunday night, so now is a great time to plan a trip for next week. Book your accommodation and lift passes at brokenriver.co.nz. We still have spaces available in some of our courses: Sept 7/8- ASC1 Avalanche Course, Sept 7- One Day Off Piste Course, Sept 7 to 9- Three Day Advanced Off Piste Course
