Cheeseman E-News - 23rd September 2010
Snow Update
Its been a wild few days of weather with more Snow and several days of high winds which were gale force at times. The field has unfortunately been closed for several days as we ride out this current weather pattern but we are positive that we will be open by tomorrow for the weekend.
We have received a huge amount of wind affected powder snow over the past few days, in the region of 60 - 70cm's so the coverage is awesome! This is great news for the school holidays which are just around the corner. What the weather will do is anyone's guess as the forecast through the weekend and early into next week is still calling for more snow however winds look to be decreasing which is positive. We will be doing everything possible to be open throughout both weeks of the school holidays so you can all make the most of the final couple of weeks for the 2010 season.
Keep an eye on the snow reports over the next couple of days because when we open there will be heaps of freshies to enjoy!
Accommodation & Ski Weeks
Come and stay at Snowline Lodge for a night – or better – a week. Where else in Canterbury can you stay on the mountain, ski from the door to the lifts and play in the snow all day. Accommodation packages are fully catered, “A Mothers best holiday”. Booking information & forms are available on the website CLICK HERE.
So book in – bring friends – bring family.
Members – remember you have vouchers for visitors that give them ½ price lift pass and ½ price nights accommodation for a family or an adult. Now is the time to bring along those friends.
We have space available at Snowline Lodge but if we do not receive adequate bookings we will be closing the Lodge and only running the lifts so if you are thinking about staying on the mountain please Contact Us now
Weekend Weather
As mentioned above this current weather cycle is still here to stay for at least a few days yet but the winds are easing and we will be assessing each day carefully and opening at every possible opportunity.
