Cardrona Alpine Resort is renowned as New Zealand’s favourite ski resort for families, beginners and intermediate skiers.  In recent years Cardrona has also cemented its reputation as a world-class training and competition venue for elite freestyle athletes.  Cardrona’s extensive facilities comprise up to three halfpipes, including Australasia’s first 22-ft Olympic Halfpipe, three Terrain Parks, a permanent Gravity X and a 70-ft Big Air.

Snow Park is recognised internationally as one of the top freestyle parks in the world, and this season will be putting extra emphasis on its Slopestyle courses, all visible from the base facilities, making the Junior Worlds fantastic for spectators.
