Jack Frost has gripped Christchurch in his spiny fingers and he's trying to steal all our smiles. It's time for us to stand up against this cheeky little tyrant and show him that his powdery frost isn't going to harsh our vibes any longer. The best way for us to do this is by using his greatest weapon, snow, to generate new smiles. So, start the rebellion against Frost's tyranny by grabbing a full-day adult lift pass at Mt Lyford Ski Alpine Resort for only $35.    

With great runs for beginners and intermediates, Mt Lyford is the perfect location for the whole family to enjoy a day of snowboarding or skiing. While the rest of the family enjoys the gentler slopes, the token family-daredevil can take advantage of the opportunity to scream down some of the more challenging courses on offer. In the event that you don't trust your balancing prowess, then you can also try your hand at tubing or the other famous ski-related activity known as hot chocolate drinking. Mt Lyford reminds us that the best way to overcome the winter is by enjoying the frosty stuff it's made of.
