SNOW PARK (South Island)
Snow Park NZ is the ultimate freestyle mecca for skiers and snowboarders alike, tucked away in the stunning Southern Alps of New Zealand.
Most people come here for pristine half pipes and an array of freestyle features, some to take it all in and experience the infectious laid back kiwi vibe, even a few just to taste the excellent range of food and drink. Snow Park offers jumps, rails, boxes, wall rides, a quarter pipe and two half-pipes suited to all levels of ability.Whether you want to master the advanced park, start out in the all new Half Pint Park or check out some of the world’s top riders competing, Snow Park offers something for everyone.
The creation of the Half Pint Park, aims to encourage novice riders into the freestyle world of snowboarding and skiing. The new park includes the same features as the main park but on a smaller scale and on less steep terrain, offering new riders the chance to learn in a fun and relaxed environment.
As well as unbeatable terrain, Snow Park’s success is also due to its unbeatable location capturing the amazing New Zealand sunsets, a cutting edge snow-making system, on-mountain accommodation, friendly staff and first-rate tunes playing on our massive speakers all day.
