Information
We are CLOSED on Wednesday due to rain and wind. We are hoping for some fresh snow as the storm exits and cools on Thursday. We will make a call around 6 am on Thursday as to whether we are opening or not. We may have a delayed opening. Friday is looking to be a powder day with colder temps, light winds, and 5 to 10 cm of new snow. We will be open. You'll want to secure your accomodation for Thursday night to be first up the hill on Friday. For the full club field experience, stay with us and enjoy waking up to beautiful mountain views, and being first one up on the mountain. Check out your options on our website and book your accomodation by emailing bookings@brokenriver.co.nz No beginnner tow riders on the Access Tow. Please walk to Palmer Lodge and practice on the Learner Tow progressing to the Traverse Tow and then the Rugby Tow. Tram hours are 8:30 am to 10:30 am and 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
