About
Mount Cheeseman is a club ski field in the Craigieburn Range of Canterbury, New Zealand, about 99 km west of Christchurch. It drops 334 metres across roughly 90 hectares of mostly intermediate and off-piste terrain, served by two T-bars and a learner rope tow rather than the nutcracker tows common to neighbouring club fields. Run by the Mt Cheeseman Ski Club, it stays open to the public and keeps on-mountain lodges at the base.
