The resorts...
The mountain resorts of the Wanaka / Queenstown region where we ride on this tour provide the best natural and park terrain of anywhere in the world, hands down. Parks and pipes are shaped by experts, including the official shaper of the ESPN Winter X-Games. Parks are shaped up each day to ensure you are riding smooth and amazing park terrain. Come enjoy New Zealand, this place is amazing!
There’s 5 resorts where we ride in NZ:
Wanaka / Queenstown is home to the largest resorts in New Zealand – boasting five resorts. The riding is most similar to Whistler Canada or Mammoth California, with a wetter, maritime snowpack that sets up very quickly and hangs onto all kinds of faces and rock outcroppings, making for perfect cliff take-offs and chutes. High speed chairlifts including a high-speed six-pack make the lift system modern, and the snow making systems for the terrain parks are those leading the industry standard.
