Cheeseman
Travelling west on Highway 73, follow the signposts to Arthurs Pass. The Cheeseman turnoff is well labelled on the left, about 10km from the top of the Porters Pass. The access road is an unsealed road which starts by winding its way through beach forest and then continues through alpine terrain. There is an unload point up by the T-Bar and the car park is 200m back down the road.
Description:
Cheeseman is a southeasterly facing bowl. It is made up of two halves, the groomed piste and the ungroomed which has Mt Cockayne at the top and Powder Vallley. The groomed area is mostly intermediate terrain, there is a small but good learners area, and plenty of off piste steeps which can be traversed to.
