Introduction
Porters Heights is situated in the Craigieburn Range and is the closest boarding area to Christchurch. The whole area is likened to a large terrain park with heaps of runs that can't be beaten on a powder day with cool challenging chutes and hits. Legendary runs like Big Mama (one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) and Bluff Face (NZ's steepest) help to make this an extremely interesting and challenging resort for any snowboarder.
