I'm looking for a ride up to Porters (or Mt Cheeseman) from Christchurch for me and my skis. I'll of course pay my share towards petrol. Thanks!

Information

Porters is open with all lifts running from 9am. At 5:45am we have scattered high cloud, and a light north westerly breeze. The temperature is 4 degrees. The forecast is for the odd bit of scattered high cloud and winds remaining light. With warming temperatures, we are expecting another day of spring conditions, soft snow and surfy turns. We have groomed upper mountain trails through McNulty’s and Stellar Bowl, mid and lower mountain trails on Easy Street and the learners area overnight. We will open as much terrain as possible today. Our road today is chain free. We recommend that all vehicles carry chains in winter, as conditions can change rapidly. Our free shuttle service will be doing return trips throughout the day, picking up at Chain Bay 2 (and the lodge on request) at 9:30am and 10:30am. Return shuttles will be available all afternoon. Porters Lodge Restaurant and Bar will be open for coffee from 10am, and meals from 11am. Snowplay at the Lodge will be opening at 10am today. Chains are not required to access the Lodge or Snowplay.
