Hi everyone, I’m looking for a ride up to the club fields this Saturday – ideally Broken River, Craigieburn, Olympus, or Temple Basin. If you’ve got a spare seat, I’d be keen to join. A ride back into town at the end of the day would be ideal too. Happy to chip in for fuel. Cheers

Information
We are OPEN on Friday! It is going to be a beautiful day with nice spring skiing around the Main Tow and colder, winter-like snow off of the Ridge Tow. There is good coverage around Nervous Knob. And of course hot pizza and cold beer on the famous Palmer Deck. Friday is going to be a great day to come up before we get busier on Saturday. PLEASE NOTE- the towline is narrow and thin. We cannot accomodate beginner nutcracker riders at this time. It is not fun for beginners to learn in these conditions. Please, experienced tow riders and advanced skiers/boarders only! Thank you- BR Staff Access to the field is a 20 minute walk from the top of the tram to Palmer Lodge. The tram hours are 8:30 am to 10:30 am and 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm.
