Isn't there some ski resort in NZ that's just one big terrain park? I think it's called snowpark or something.

 
Yea, snow park is a field that is entirely dedicated to jumps rails and half/quarter pipes. It is in its 3rd sesaon now. It is built below the main snow line, but this isnt a fuck up it is because they have enough snow makers to cover the whole field. Where it is built is apparently good for snow making (Shelter and shit like that). So if the temperature is below 3degrees or there abouts it could produce snow all year round. (in theory). I think the basis of this is that they are not relant on weather or cold winters to produce the right snow conditions. With it being as cold as fuck up there all year round it should hopefully be mint this year with the introduction of a quad chair lift, a few mill worth of more snow machines and the X-games pipe and jump shaper taking charge of that department.

 
yea, if you ever have the chance go check out skiing in NZ. It is seriously the coolest place on the face of this earth. I was at snowpark for 5 weeks last summer and that place is absolutely amazing. It is so much fun to just be able to jib rails and hit jumps all day long in that kind of atmosphere. Music is blasting, and the features are out of this world. The coolest one by far is the 25ft high wallride. Then they have an awesome quarter pipe and a ginormous rainbow C rail. One of the three pictures in my profile is a shot of those if you want to see them.

 
Yay Im going to snowpark in about 5 weeks, rock and roll.... gonna go sooooo hard

They should get some of north American pros to go down there. It would be better than seeing fottage from Hood. But it's probably a money issue.

 
flights are cheap this time of year, i got a return flight for $1500, not nearly as bad as i thought it would be
