    Fun in the snow

    What a great ski field for first timers. The staff were great, equipment hire was easy and lessons were fantastic. The access road was well maintained and it is close enough to Christchurch for a day trip. Our family really enjoyed our day and would recommend Porters to anyone looking for some fun in the snow.
