Location
Travel 23km south along the Crown Range Rd (Hw89) from Wanaka. The entrance to the mountain road is literally one km past the entrance to Cardrona on the right.
The Snowpark access road is a well maintained mountain road. It is approximately 13km from the entrance of the access road to the lodge. It is also the access to the Snowfarm and the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground.
If you are traveling from Queenstown head north across the Crown Range, following the signs to Wanaka. Snowpark is located just after the village of Cardrona. In Winter, we advise that you check the Crown Range Road (SH89) is open after snowfall. Chains are very often required.

About Snowpark
Snow Park NZ is a freestyle mecca for snowboarders and skiers tucked away in the beautiful Southern Alps of New Zealand, located on the Lee family high-country farm which has been in the family for over 87 years.
Featuring a standard halfpipe, a quarterpipe, big kickers, 40+ rails, hits, jumps and more, Snow Park NZ has something for everyone. Recently added is the Half Pint beginner park, a playground of boxes, jumps and rails designed specifically for the novice skier or boarder.
The newest resort in the region, Snow Park NZ opened to the public in 2002. Today it hosts several top ski and snowboard events, such as the Burton NZ Open, Billabobng Snowstock and NZ Freeski Open.
One of few resorts in New Zealand capable of relying 100% on snowmaking, Snow Park NZ has an impressive fleet of 33 fully automatic snow guns covering the 60 acres of resort land.
Snow Park NZ is a great place to relax for a meal after a day on the slopes at the brand new Woolshed Restaurant & Bar, a full-service facility with a sprawling deck over looking the action at the resot and views of the breathtaking Southern Alps.
Other facilities include a cafe , retail shop, patrol, physiotherapy as well as an on-mountain luxury apartments and backpacker style accommodation.
