Broken River Ski Area Jobs, Employment & Info

» Canterbury, New Zealand

Broken River is a club skifield in South Island, New Zealand. Run by the Broken River Ski Club, it is located 1.5 hours drive from Christchurch. It claims to often have the longest ski season anywhere in Australasia. Also, by connecting with Craigieburn Valley, it claims to have the largest skiable area in New Zealand, at 900 hectare. The terrain is based around a large, open basin with 5 ski tows and a skiable range from 1420 to 1820 m.

The difficulty distribution is 10% beginner, 40% intermediate, 50% advanced. Accommodation is in the form of three lodges: the full-service Lyndon Lodge, the more basic 60 bed Broken River Lodge, and the very basic 14-bed White Star Chalet for backpackers. Access to the accommodation is via a 10 to 15 min walk from the carpark. There is a goods lift between the carpark and the accommodation. The field also has a day lodge, Palmer Lodge, which has full self cooking available as well as normal food and drink availability.
