Planning Tips

• Lift Season: Northern hemisphere resorts typically run from late May through early October, while southern hemisphere hubs (New Zealand, Australia) peak between November and April.

• Pass Partnerships: Look into regional multi-park passes like the Gravity Card in Europe, which covers over 30 European bike parks under a single seasonal ticket.
