Snow Park NZ
There are other Snow Parks in the world, and while they may not be the Snow Park we all know and love, it doesn’t hurt to know about the existence of others. (If two Snow Parks meet, would one have to destroy the other? Doppelganger style?)

This Snow Park, Snow Park New Zealand, is a bit different than the Snow Flex and Tubing Hill that we have here. They have set out to create the “first dedicated snowsports terrain park.” Everything is made using the mountain, snow, and a little bit of construction help. Forget about ski runs – this is the place to come to perfect your skills and conquer a 22 foot halfpipe.
Personally, I don’t know when I’ll afford the $1400 it’ll probably cost me to get out there, but it’d definitely be cool to check out.
