    Family snow opportunity near Christchurch?

    Hi,

    Taking the kids to Christchurch this week. Hoping to show them snow somewhere.

    Not keen on looking like a bunch of dorks on some skifield full of nicely dressed folk looking balanced and skilfull and stuff.

    Can anyone suggest a nice family friendly place where general non-ski-bunny folk can go and maybe see snow and maybe slide a bit on a bit of plastic bag?

    (Went to Hanmer springs one winter; bad timing and all the kids got to see was some very frozen puddles.)

    Thanks,
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Porter's Pass.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yup. Just park on the side of the road, take some bin liners with you and have fun.

    We did snow ball fights in Lewis Pass too! Ultimate fun for kids that have never played in snow
