Craigieburn has wide open powder bowls, steep narrow chutes, and an infamous 600 meter vertical drop in the Middle basin (an experience often equated with heliskiing). There is no terrain for beginner skiers and ski hire facilities on the mountain. Craigieburn is located 1.5 hrs (110km) from Christchurch on highway 73.
