Across the patchwork Canterbury Plains lies Methven township - an easy 90 minute drive from Christchurch - overshadowed by the awesome snow-capped Southern Alps. On the way you cross a number of braided snow-fed rivers - well know for their fine salmon returning from the Pacific to spawning in the alpine headwaters. Methven is a typical New Zealand country town which transforms into a service town for nearby Mount Hutt Skifield. The village is below the snowline and has a reputation for being the friendliest of New Zealand Ski Resorts.
