Mount Cheeseman is a club snowfield in New Zealand's South Island, near the town of Springfield, about an hour and a half (111 km) from Christchurch.[http://www.chillout.co.nz/images/trailmap_mtcheeseman_large.jpg Trail map] {{dead link|date=June 2018}}[https://web.archive.org/web/20070205082347/http://www.snow.co.nz/Areas/15.asp?skiArea=15 Archive.org][http://www.chillout.co.nz/mountains.asp?DocID=8 Chillout.co.nz]
Situated in a south-east-facing basin, it features two T-bar lifts and one learner tow. The runs cover an elevation range of 1570–1840 metres, with a distribution of 15% beginner slopes, 50% intermediate, and 35% advanced. Some of the slopes are groomed.
