  We have just booked for August 2012, having had the most wonderful week at Mt Cheeseman in 2011. It was the best family holiday we ever had. We went in Family Week so there were lots of kids for company for our children and within a day or two, everyone looked out for the kids and so parents were free to ski (advanced for the experienced skier, beginner for me!). The lodge was comfortable, the food fantastic, the members supportive and welcoming and the Swiss ski instructors the most patient I have ever come across. All round, a great experience, particularly for families and groups, as the camaraderie is great - the sort that only comes from shared experience. Looking forward to August already!

  I've been heading up to Mt Cheeseman a couple of weekends every season for a few years now and I think it's a great place to go. This season especially has been awesome with so much snow! It's great for off and on piste so my more beginner friends liked it as well, while I really enjoyed the steeper slopes and fresh powder days. I would highly recommend this field to people, especially to stay overnight and steal the first tracks in the morning. Hope to head back there next year.

  As one of the few locations in NZ where you can stay on the mountain Mount Cheeseman offers a unique experience. Kids in particular love the idea of living in the snow. Cheeseman is arguably the most urbane of the Canterbury club fields. Not 5 star but good services and a nice sense of communal living. Lots of terrain of varying levels with good off-piste skiing. Get out those fat skis and carve yourself a line. A real joy.

  My family and I have just returned from a ski week at Mount Cheeseman. A fantastic location to learn how to ski with the learners slope and the main T-bar only 20 meters away from the day lodge and snowline lodge. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the Swiss ski instructors do a great job with the kids. There were no crowds at Mount Cheeseman and at times we had the whole mountain to ourselves due to snowfall closing the roads. There is something for everyone, from toboganing to learners, intermediates or off-piste action. Our week was full of adventure. Mount Cheeseman is a truly adventurous alpine experience set in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Mount Cheeseman has turned us into ski junkies. Can't wait to return next year.

  Mount Cheeseman is a great place. You've just got to go. I spent many a weekend there and I'm going back this winter to ski and have a good look around after being away for 20 odd years. I was a club member back in the 80's and we had loads of fun even in the off season as work parties; the comradeship is fantastic. Go to Mt Cheeseman and get high on Cocane (name of mountain). Have a great season folks. Alan Ryan. Tauranga

  My family and I have skied and stayed at Cheeseman since 1986. We have had some fantastic times up there and made some wonderful friends. It is really great to be able to stay right on the skifield. Choosing to ski or rest as you wish. I learnt to ski on a ski week where the lessons from the "Swiss Ski Instructors" made everthing so easy. If you join a ski week the comradary is great and with skiing with the people from your lessons in the afternoon each day you find you get so much more practise in than skiing with people too far above your level. But it doesn't matter if you just go for the day or the weekend, you'll have fun. Over the years we have noticed huge changes groomers, electricity, hot food, drinks and ski hire are all on the mountain now. With the opening of the wonderful new day lodge this 2005 season everything is so much more convenient and even incorperates a lecture room.
