I had a great days skiing the frozen tracked basin after it rained on tracked powder and froze in 2008.

Place is a time warp, tows are still fast, good for city legs to burn.

This year planned to take my teenage daughter up there skiing for a weekend, live in Southland so its an expedition. Plans were screwed by the faceless civil service standards that they apply to their booking system. Their fax wasn't working so they couldn't receive a credit card details. Despite knowing my intention they wouldn't wait even 24 hours to get phone contact for credit card details. Although they had the booking by email. Excuse was "The Rules".

So be warned, cash is king at Broken River and service certainly is not. Don't get afoul of their RULES because even if its their problem its yours!
