E-News 1st September 2011
Spring is has arrived and with it comes longer and warmer days. The weather has been reasonably settled this week and is looking awesome for the upcoming weekend - check out the weekend weather update below. We still have a couple of fun events to run in September, including the re-launch of the Undie 500, so we hope you will come and join us on the slopes during the last few weeks of the season as we head towards summer.
Our Ski weeks are continuing to run through until the end of the season so if you feel like a break from the hectic town life get in touch with us on the mountain 03 318-8794. Weekend accommodation deals have proved popular this season and this weekend Snowline is just about fully booked again with only a couple of spare beds available as of today so get in quickly if your planning a saturday night stay in the mountains.

ThermaTech Undie 500 - 10th September
Following a few years hiatus the Mt Cheeseman Ski Area Undie 500 is back! With ThermaTech proudly ‘covering’ the event (pun intended!), this is Cheeseman’s friendly and fun atmosphere at its best!
Brave racers strip to their ‘undies’ for a mass start up on the slopes. Running to their skis or snowboard they must negotiate a giant slalom course and other creative challenges down to the day lodge and the finish line!
This awesome event is for everyone, but if you'd rather watch than take part, there are plenty of vantage points along the route or be part of the finish line party.

See you on the slopes during fantastic Spring.
Bye for now and take care

The Cheeseman Team
