We are OPEN today with another beautiful bluebird day! Warm temps will soften the snow nicely, and around Nervous Knob, you can still find cold winter-like snow.

We have a storm coming in midweek, so you'll want to book a bunk Wednesday night for fresh tracks Thursday morning or Thursday night for the best visibility on Friday. Midweek packages (catered meals, bunk, tow ticket) are now 20% off. Book at brokenriver.co.nz

Next Saturday (19/9) at BR we are having the BR Freeride Competition organised by BR homegrown World Freeride Champion Hamish Henderson. This low-key, social competition is open to everyone - ski and snowboard, and adult & junior categories. We've got some cool prizes and there'll be a BBQ to finish. $20 registration.
