We will be CLOSED on Thursday to get ready for the next storm! We will be OPEN from Friday onward, with cold, wintry powder skiing. Missed out last weekend? Here's your chance for redemption!

Come up Thursday evening and stay in our lodge to ski powder with no crowds on Friday. A great meal on Thursday night to fuel up for the new snow is just the ticket. Tram hours on Thursday evening are 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Book online at brokenriver.co.nz

If you're chasing first tracks on Saturday, we recommend booking a Friday night stay. Lodge guests typically get on the tows at least 30 minutes before day visitors coming up from the car park. Need one more reason to stay? The tram will be running extended hours until 8:30 pm on Friday evening!
