Information
The storm total as of Wednesday evening is about 35 to 40 cm. Another 10 to 15 cm is expected tonight. We are likely to open either on Friday or Saturday. We will update this report by Thursday 6 pm with a decision. It's going to be a great, fun weekend at BR but if you are planning on coming up it's important to know that it will likely be busy and only the main basin will be open with the Ridge tow unlikely to run early in the weekend. It won't be an ideal time to learn how to ride our tows. We recommend trying to come during the week if you are first-time tow rider. So to recap- limited terrain openings, patience required, but an awesome time to open up the season with your mates at BR.
