New Snow Hits The Mountain

16 May - Around 20 - 30 cms of snow was deposited on the slopes last night and the mountain has been transformed from a stark summer look to winter magic in a matter of a few hours. Whilst its still early days yet this is a very promising start to winter 2012 and hopefully there's plenty more snow to come prior to our scheduled opening on Saturday 30th June. Our webcam will be up and running again soon so be sure to keep an eye on the website as the season approaches.

Some photos taken today to get the juices flowing!

Skiing As A Winter Sport

In 2010 a ski programme was implemented between Mt Cheeseman and Thorrington School. The feedback from the children and the parents involved was fantastic. Cheeseman is agan offering skiing as a winter school weekday sport option to all Primary and Intermediate Schools in Canterbury during the 2012 season. There will be a 2 hour lesson, once a week, over a 6 weeks of the 2012 season.
 
This programme leads up to the Primary and Intermediate Ski Races held this year on Sunday 19 August. There will be a full individual report for each child at the end of the 6 week course.
