Mount Cheeseman

Mount Cheeseman is a club snowfield in New Zealand's South Island, near the town of Springfield, about an hour and a half (111 km) from Christchurch.

[1][2][3] Situated in a south-east-facing basin, it features two T-bar lifts and one learner tow.

The runs cover an elevation range of 1570–1840 metres, with a distribution of 15% beginner slopes, 50% intermediate, and 35% advanced.

It is named for the botanist Thomas Frederic Cheeseman, who was curator of Auckland Museum and a recipient of the Linnean Medal.
