Looking for a ride up to Cheeseman in the morning - though anywhere on the highway from the Porters turn off onwards would do. Happy to share costs. Don't actually need a ride back, but the form needed one.

Information
5 July Update: Good morning everyone, We received around 10cm of new snow on Thursday (3 July) which is a positive start to rebuilding our snowpack again. Unfortunately its just not enough to get the ball rolling tomorrow for our scheduled opening day. The weather is a bit patchy through the next few days however there are signs of further weather systems through next week so at this stage we are going to sit tight and let these play out and hopefully then be in a good position to get the bullwheels spinning. If you are booked into Snowline Lodge this weekend or for Holiday 2 week we will be in touch with you about options moving forward. If you’ve not heard from us, please reach out so we can make contact. We are gutted to not be able to open this Saturday, but we will make it happen as soon as we are in a position to do so – stayed tuned for future updates and keep the positive snow thoughts flowing! Regards the Cheeseman Crew.
