There is now a lift which you ride from the carpark to lift ticket office so you don't have to walk as outlined in the last review. "carpark there is a 30 minute walk up to the lodges and rope tows. There is a goods lift to carry your luggage and skis, so the forest walk is a pleasant one". BR is awesome, come and enjoy it.
