South Island - Mount Cheeseman
Mount Cheeseman is the second closest ski area to Christchurch. The ski field is a sunny east to south east basin with open rolling terrain. With great beginner and intermediate slopes, Mount Cheeseman is perfect for learners and families
Cheeseman is a southeasterly facing bowl. It is made up of two halves, the groomed piste and the ungroomed which has Mt Cockayne at the top and Powder Vallley.
Two T Bars give easy access to well groomed gentle terrain and the Learners Tow is located right beside the main lodge.
You can choose to stay up on the mountain in Snowline Lodge or alternatively Forest Lodge, which is nestled in the Beech Forest and is an easy 5 minute drive in from SH 73.
The groomed area is mostly intermediate terrain, there is a small but good learners area, and plenty of off piste steeps which can be traversed to.
Location:
Travelling west on Highway 73, follow the signposts to Arthurs Pass. The Cheeseman turnoff is well labelled on the left, about 10km from the top of the Porters Pass. The access road is an unsealed road which starts by winding its way through beach forest and then continues through alpine terrain. There is an unload point up by the T-Bar and the car park is 200m back down the road.

Since the T1 is so many things to so many riders we decided to add a camber edition to this board line.
