What’s Your Craft?

Our members boast a wide range of specific skills. Did you know that the tramway from the carpark to the Ticket Office was designed and built entirely by our members? All the hand painted signs you see around the place have been lovingly painted by an artist we have on board. ‘The Slow Button’ on the Access Tow - designed and installed by one of the best electrical engineers in Christchurch - a member of BR.

What’s your craft? Whether it’s building, sewing, software or designing interiors, have fun with it in a low-pressure environment - we’d love to see it in action!

Underlying principles of new membership structure and 2024 pricing

● Ensure everyone is contributing to the financial future of the Club whilst rewarding those who put in the hard mahi (by means of Work Party Credits earned from work on the field in summer/autumn or off-mountain activities, up to 30 April of current year).

● Encourage all members to complete work parties to utilise their skills and knowledge for the benefit of the Club.

 For people joining Broken River Ski Club for the first time the annual membership subscription fee will be waived for new members who complete two Work Party days by 30 April (an administration fee of $50 still applies to adult members). The new member will be entitled to the equivalent discount (for lift, season pass and accommodation) of two Work Party Credits (= 2 work days) and will not have to pay the Work Party Levy ($200 per adult , student or youth). Any future days completed during that year will result in a higher discount.

WORK PARTY DAYS

Discounts are available on season lift passes, daily lift rates, accommodation and ski packages for members who choose to complete approved Work Days during the summer/autumn seasons. Each Day earns a credit equivalent to the member’s day lift pass, which can be traded towards accommodation or package deals.

Everyone can participate – whether you’re a skilled tradesperson, a DIY handyperson, or neither. There are plenty of jobs for all skill levels on the ski area in summer and at the workshop in Rangiora, as well as a range of year round jobs that can be done in the city or from home.

There’s huge satisfaction to be gained from helping out on projects that assist the ski club to operate smoothly. You also have a chance to meet other members and make new friends. Work party details are published over summer in the club newsletters and e-bulletins. Work Days can be done while you’re still considering membership or your application is pending. If you complete too many Work Days for your own use these can be used by others - special conditions apply.

Work party dates for this summer/autumn:

Work party dates are published via the Club newsletters, planned for:
2024  Feb 24-25, Mar 9-10, Easter week 29 March to 5 April. 

Plus May 18-19 and Jun 1-3 Kings Birthday and other June/July final pre-season preparation - HOWEVER credits will apply to 2025 season.


Members can look for info in the Club e-bulletins or Facebook page.  Prospective members can check in with the coordinator at: wppersonnel@brokenriver.co.nz. Book in at least 5-7 days prior to the weekend so jobs, gear and people can be assigned.

Summer is also a great time to be up at BR – lovely sunny weather and long, warm days. Members doing Work Days on the field bring all their own food with shared dinner and breakfast meals.

Summer activities in the mountains

The lodges are also available to hire out for groups to enjoy our spectacular alpine experience – such as work, school or uni groups, weddings or special family occasions.
