CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
We are receiving buckets of rain mixed with warm winds today. We've lost a lot of snow, so it was perfectly timed to close the field down yesterday.
Thanks to everyone who made this season a stunner!
The skiers, staff, and supporters from afar, gelled together well, to make us what we are...the vibers and riders of BR!
Keep those pins strong over summer and we'll see you next winter!
