Porter Heights Ski Area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Porter Heights is a commercial ski resort just over an hour's drive from Christchurch, on New Zealand's South Island. Originally functioning as a club skifield, it has 1 beginner rope tow, 1 poma and 3 t-bars. The difficulty of the slopes is distributed as 15% beginner, 35% intermediate and 50% advanced. Modern grooming equipment is used to "turn the whole mountain into a terrain park of jumps and tabletops"[1], and snowmaking equipment is used along the number 1 T-bar.

There is one club-run lodge with 42 beds, situated along on the mountain's access road, said to be "the least intimidating in Canterbury".[2]
