Snow Conditions
Average depth: 50cm (20cm-80cm)
Last snowfall: 4cm on 27 September
Sunday, 28 September was our last day of the season. Thanks to everyone who came out, had a great time, and supported the Broken River Ski Club! Although the season was slow to start, we had an amazing, snowy end.
If you were booked into one of our lodges for this coming week and haven't heard from us, please email bookings@brokenriver.co.nz.
If a big storm comes through in October, there is a chance the club will spin tows for a weekend. Stay tuned!
