Whether you are skiing, riding or spectating, Cardrona’s terrain parks have something for everyone, including the only full-size Superpipe and World Cup slopestyle course in Australasia.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or training on the FIS Slopestyle course, there’s a feature, jump or park for you, and as of Winter '25, a new T-bar will provide fast laps for Lil Bucks, Big Bucks, and Stag Lane, making it even easier to maximise your time in the park.

Spectating is also a must – most days you’ll catch up-and-coming Kiwi athletes training alongside World Cup medalists throughout the terrain. Seeing what they can do is nothing short of incredible!

Park Crew

The Cardrona Parks Crew are a talented, hardworking, down-to-earth, motley crew making it happen. They build and shape world-class facilities with world-class progression, all while we're sleeping. But at the end of the day, they just want to see guests progress, have fun, and lap the parks and pipes. The Cardrona Parks crew is headed up by Matt Slocombe, with lead builders Shaw Butterworth in the Parks and Eric Roberts in the Pipes. Stay up to date with what’s happening by following their Instagram @cardronaparksnz.

A legacy of innovation

Cardrona Parks stand on the shoulders of the pioneers of terrain park and pipe shaping. From humble starts building halfpipes with haybales and chainsaws, to some cheeky competition between both sides of the Cardrona Valley, and now having some of the leaders in their field call Cardrona home. Cardrona Parks today is the legacy of all who have come before. And to TC – this is for you. We hope we’re doing you proud.
