Snow Conditions

Average depth: 50cm (30cm-70cm)

Last snowfall: 13cm on 9 July

Good Morning - Broken River will be CLOSED today.

With temperatures rising to a high of 3 degrees, high freezing levels, and more rainfall, we feel that it is best to close today to preserve the snowpack. Winds up to 70km are expected today, along with increasing rain and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Temperatures look to be cooling down throughout the rest of the week starting tomorrow, with potential for some snow accumulation. We hope that the cooler weather will be a welcome change.

Ride New Zealand's steepest and most serene railway. Funicular your way up through a native Beech forest. Marvel at the majesty of the mountains as you tram through a tunnel of trees. A great way to start the day and the glide back down makes grateful knees!
