I was invited here for some info on New Zealand. I live in California and am gonna charge south next july. I have heard Chile has better mountains and a more consistent snow pack but lately i have been told the New Zealand Parks are super sick and i dont have to bother with spanish. Any input would be great. Info on some possible cheap places to stay, pictures of some parks and terrain would be super helpful.

yeah i dont know about chile aye, but nz is pretty sweet as long as you dont mind using shitty lifts to get to good places and using lots of clubfields. If you want to use our more touristy resorts youll have some long lines, but they generally set up a decent amount of rails and jumps and stuff

snowpark is just one quad chair. its pretty fuckin sweet. cardrona also has a pretty good park that is accessed by an express quad.

Which is a better mountain to ride at? It sounds like snowpark doesnt have any riding other than a park, how is the riding at cardona other than the park?

yea snowpark is just that a park thats all folks cardrona had a decent park in more slopestyle run format but its other terrain is mainly flat but arcadia and tulip chutes have some rocks that are ok my recommendation would be snowpark pass and either treble cone or clubfields eg craigieburn broken river temple olympus for actual skiing. peace
