A great community and welcoming atmosphere. Easily convenient access wirh the drop off area at the day lodge and Main T makes for a relaxed start to a day enjoying the snow and stunning location.

Great sunny day with fresh snow at the end of the season. Surprised ski gear & clothing rental only $49. Really cheap prices for food and drink. E.g. $5 Latte, $5 hot pie. Smallish area with 2 T-bars but only one pisted.

Olie the ski instructor was very brave taking four kids up the t bar, all who it was the first time. This did great things for their skiing.

Great laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, fantastic snow (at least there was the day I was up there!) and yummy pies (especially with reduced price after 3pm!)

Friendly club field equally as good as or better than many ski area. There are no huge growds and very good afforable family rates. A welcoming ski field which could improve with more assistance loading on the T Bar lifts. A wonderful day's skiing here with Auckland visitors.

Great view. But the t bar is quite challenging for snowboarders.

I was privileged to see the Paragliding champs launching from the Carpark. The staff on the cafe above is were very polite and kind enough to allow me to use the facilities. After all the other pilots had taken off, I had a few hours myself flying my Gin Atlas 2 wing up and around the ski lifts. Absolutely amazing view! It did get a bit fresh high up though 😁😜

Lovely small skifield. Easy to get to through a drive up into beech forest. New cafe and nice facilities. Field design is better for good skiers. The lower areas are not great. Our son had a great time - he's a very good skier. We stayed 2 nights in a bunk room. Fun experience but super cold and we found ourselves rostered on to cook breakfast for 40 people at 7am!! Bit of a shock... But we managed. Not great value given the quality of facilties and the job roster.

Amazing mounts for a good time and especially a beginner! I've only snowboarded a couple of time before this past season and a few months at Cheeseman has drastically improved my riding.Very family friendly. Two t-bars and one learner's rope tow. The day lodge is also a great space to relax with a coffee from the cafe and or to enjoy the view!A night at the Snowline Lodge provides dinner, breakfast, and lunch!

Incredible field with a amazing view and a awesome cafe. The snow lodge is also great to stay the night in.
