Ski Holidays & AccommodationBOOK
A 5cm dusting of new snow over the past 24 hours has certainly freshened up the mountain after a lean patch on the new snow front. We’ve had warm and settled weather over the past few days being the norm, with almost spring like conditions in what should be the middle of winter!. The upper mountain still has great cover and the groomer has been doing an excellent job maintaining the main runs on a nightly basis along with staff looking after the other important areas such as T Bar lines and the Hinman Highway. July is almost over and hopefully August will bring with it some more snow and cooler temps as it normally does – there’s still another 2 months to go and we are keen to share some more great Cheeseman experiences with everyone.
Unfortunately we have had to re-evaluate many of the events that were planned so please check the Events Calendar for updated info. On a positive note the Dynastar Chill Gromfest is going ahead this coming Saturday along with Swiss National night party at Snowline Lodge (see below for details on both events) and Fine Wine Week kicks off on Sunday night.
The weather over the next 3 days is again looking settled with further snow on the cards for Sunday night and Monday – here’s hoping!
On piste has still been good skiing and riding
The upper mountain still has good coverage
The Dynastar CHILL Gromfest is a series of three competitions for young skiers and snowboarders aged 6-12 years. The aim of Gromfest is for the young competitors to have fun whilst boosting their snow skills.
Mt Cheeseman plays host to the second event of 2012 Gromfest series Saturday 28 July, a day of dual downhill slalom racing. The emphasis is on participation and there’s a bbq and prizes for all who enter.
If you’d like to enter simply show up on the day and say hi to the CHILL Crew who will be out on the deck if it’s nice and sunny. It’s free to enter and the more the merrier.
Registration closes at 10.00am
Downhill Racing kicks off from around 10.30
