About Mt Cheeseman

Mt Cheeseman is the second ski area along the Craigiburn Range just 1 hours drive from Methven Mt Hutt Village via the Lake Lyndon Road and the second closest ski area to Christchurch. Mt Cheeseman is a sunny northeast basin with open rolling terrain. With great beginner and intermediate slopes, Mt Cheeseman is perfect for learners and families. 2 T Bars give easy access to well groomed gentle terrain and the Learners Tow is located right beside the main lodge. Mt Cockayne offers great off-piste conditions and the face holds snow well. If you are keen on a taste of backcountry, it is little effort to drop into Tarn Basin to get some fresh lines.

You must check in with ski patrol if you intend on heading out of bounds, as Tarn Basin is not patrolled. 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.
