My brothers and I skied at Mt Cheeseman in August 2011 and I cannot speak highly enough of the mountain, it's facilities and the wonderful staff and members. We stayed on mountain and it is so good to get up in the morning and walk 15 metres to the T-bar to get skiing for the day. The field has a good variety of terrain for people of all abilities and even better, no crowds. After skiing in Australia and paying top dollar for crappy conditions, crowded slopes and rude people, Mt Cheeseman is heaven. The value for money is second to none and I have skied in Canada, U.S as well as other mountains in NZ. Most importantly, we were made to feel like family there. Within a couple of hours, we knew everyone there by name and had our meals together, swapping stories, having a laugh and an awesome time. I tell every Aussie who loves to ski uncrowded, challenging terrain, stay on the mountain and do it for under half the price of Australian slopes.... Go Cheesman!!!
