Information
Broken River is OPEN! We received 22 cm of snow on Sunday. Conditions are great and a beautiful spring day is ahead! The new snow will be transisitioning to spring-like snow over the next few days. You'll still be able to find cold, dry snow on our southerly-facing slopes. It looks like mid-winter up here, come get one last day before it's all over. Tows are open 9 am to 4 pm today; regular hours and not spring hours. Normal hours for the tram too; 8:30 am to 10:30 am and 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. The Access Tow is open for access only. Please don't ski to the Access Tow during the day. Closing day is the 4th of October (weather permitting). Get up here and make the most of it. Next July is a long ways away.
