Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

D G Orf, there's one short underpowered drag which struggles, and a main drag which seems to work OK. I haven't been there for nearly a year, so this may be out of date.

I was wondering how it compared to Christchurch

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

D G Orf, I'm not familiar with Christchurch, but they're pretty standard poma-type things.

boredsurfin, week days I think you can still ski all morning or all afternoon for the price of 1 hours evening skiing, I'm only going to the evening coaching sessions because they work out to be much better value than the free skiing, I do hate the Christchurch lift though

D G Orf, Yes, you can but NOT in the school Holidays!
I have never met anyone with a good thing to say about that lift!
I skiied there before it was fully open, the cafe bar shop nursery slopes etc all came later and the guy that 'owned' it, an Austian I think , said that the lift was tempoary untill they could afford a proper one! That was 15+ (/) years ago!

boredsurfin, Ahh yes that sort of makes sense, If they could just do something about the lift it would make all the difference as the slope itself is not bad and the off slope bar etc. is very good, staff training is an issue though, not once in I forget how many years has anyone changed the DIN settings on the bindings of their hire skis, last time I went down there the girl issuing the skis didn't even know how to adjust the hire bindings to fit my boots
I think the original owner may have left, I use to see him arround quite a bit but I havn't seen him for the last 2 years, also they've made quite a few changes so that there is now an Arcade with electronic games and a pool table adjacent to the bar and a conference facility downstairs with a smaller one upstairs, plus they've significantly improved the upstairs part of their shop
