Product Overview

Founded in 1980, Cardrona welcomes skiers and snowboarders of all ages and ability levels - from first timers and families, to Olympic and X-Games athletes. Cardrona is renowned for wide, open slopes that are home to some of New Zealand’s best learner facilities, and the Southern Hemisphere’s most extensive terrain parks and halfpipes.
Cardrona is the home of the NZ Park and Pipe Team and each year, hosts some of the biggest winter events, including Winter Games NZ, FIS WorldCup freestyle competitions, and the Jossi Wells Invitational.
In the summer months, Cardrona is home to New Zealand’s highest bike park, and the country’s only Mountain Carting experience, which Stuff.co.nz described as the “most fun thing to do in New Zealand”.
