Porters - Christchurch's Closest Ski Area

WELCOME TO PORTERS

Welcome to Porters’ 2013 season. There is nothing better than sharing new experiences with family and friends. Building memories and binding friendships is guaranteed in the stunning alpine environment we treasure here at Porters.

Still by far the most accessible ski area from Christchurch, Porters draws snow sports fans with varied terrain, friendly staff and affordability. No matter if you are a beginner or a veteran, Porters offers you a relaxed, inclusive experience you will just want to repeat.

We are proud of our traditional trademarks – expert considerate staff, exhilarating views and runs, and, our unique community atmosphere.

Whether you come up to blast Bluff, to get air in the park, or, just to warm up with a hot chocolate, we will look after you. You are most welcome to this special place – come and introduce yourself – I am happy to help make your day at Porters one for the family memory box!
