This year, we were blessed with a lot of snow at the beginning of the season, the park's items were enriched, and almost all Captain Bases, which are mainly free-running, are open, and if you have your own arm, you can slide on slopes that are not in Japan.

The rest house is a facility where you can eat cafes, pies, fish and chips, and there are many seats.In addition, there are many families as it is fully equipped with a daycare center.Skiing and snowboarding lessons are also quite substantial, and you can take lessons with confidence at beginners' burns, and there is also a lesson called HPC for advanced players, so you can also take kicker and pipe lessons. Olympic participants are also resident at HPC as coaches.It corresponds to various levels.

Due to the heavy snowfall this year, an International Halfpipe of about XNUMXm was opened in addition to the Olympic Super Pipe.Recently, many ski resorts have only super pipes, but it is wonderful that there are pipes that can be enjoyed at any level.
Actually, there are many beginners, but I also saw many advanced players having fun.

The quality is high because the shaper who is planning to maintain the pipes for the Sochi Olympics is doing the maintenance.The OPEN time of the pipe is from morning to around XNUMX:XNUMX, so it is recommended to slide from the morning.Both pipes are suitable for practicing tricks on the front side rather than the back side because the sun hits the front side.

Of course, free riding can also be enjoyed.It also features McDougall for beginner slopes, white stars for intermediate and slopestyles, and captains and genres for free-runs.

There are many rocks at the top of the captain course, and there are difficult slopes on the course side, but there are banks, steep slopes, shoots, etc., so when the snow is good, the locals will slide first.There is also a slippery BC on the back, but outside the ski area jurisdiction involves solid equipment and knowledge, skills and personal responsibility.There is only overseas in this area, so be careful as there is a strong distinction between ski resort jurisdiction and non-jurisdiction.

Burton NZ OPEN has been held in the past for slopestyle (Burton High Fives will be held in early September this year), and the quality is well-established. The Heavy Metal course is an advanced course, and the size of the triple kicker starts from XNUMXm and is quite large.It is suitable for practicing professional riders, but there is no problem even for beginners and intermediates because the slope course next to it is substantial.

Whether you're a family, beginner or advanced, you can enjoy skiing, and by providing all terrain, Cardrona is supported by locals and foreigners alike. Why don't you try slipping once when you come to NZ?
