Broken River Ski Area

Broken River is a club skifield in South Island, New Zealand.

Run by the Broken River Ski Club, it is located at about 110 km (68 mi) from Christchurch.

The skifield 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 hectares (2,224 acres).

The grounds encompass a large, open basin with five ski tows and a skiable range from an altitude of 1,420 to 1,820 metres (4,660 to 5,970 feet).
