Broken River

🇳🇿 Canterbury, New Zealand 1380m – 1850m
Holding — stable base
Tuesday: It's a chilly one at Broken River today, with that wind making it feel well below freezing despite the mainly clear skies. We're holding a respectable 125cm base, but no fresh snow in the last 24 hours means it's firming up. Wednesday looks like the best bet for a more pleasant day on the slopes with milder temperatures, though still no fresh snow expected.
