Information
Broken River is OPEN today. Ski conditions have been great the last few days with cold, wintry snow. We expect to pick up another 5 to 10 cm today making conditions even better. Don't miss this opportunity for winter-like conditions at BR. Book in for Thursday night for fresh tracks on Friday. It's mid September, so who knows how many storms we have left. The Access Tow is open for experienced tow riders only. If it's your first time, please walk to Palmer Lodge to start your day. This weekend will also be an excellent time to be skiing and staying up at BR. On Saturday the 12th at 1:30 pm we’ll have the Barry's Bay Cheese Roll! The event is free with your tow ticket. Donations go to our friends at the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust! On Saturday evening in Lyndon Lodge at 7:30 pm enjoy some Italian tasty aperitifs and beverages guided by our Italian Accommodation Manager Alissya! It'll be a great evening. Book your bed online and book for your spot for the Apertivo at the same time.
