Fresh snow in the park? Yes, please!
Powder brings a special kind of energy — soft, forgiving, and fun. It’s the perfect time to play around, build confidence, and explore without pressure.
Just keep in mind: powder slows you down. That means adjusting your speed and take-offs — and being ready for softer landings (literally).
How to ride it:
Keep your weight slightly back to stay balanced. Approach features with a bit more speed. Expect a slower run-in — and enjoy the flow!
Pro Tip: Powder days are ideal for trying new tricks with less fear of falling. Use the softness to your advantage and experiment with confidence.
When temperatures drop and the snow gets firm, the park becomes faster and more technical.
The good news? You’ll carry more speed — perfect for big features. The challenge? Less forgiveness.
Harder snow demands precision: stable body position, clean edge control, and smooth transitions.
How to ride it:
Stay centered — too much pressure on the edge can cause slipping. Focus on balance and timing rather than brute force. Maintain consistent speed through features to avoid sketchy take-offs.
Pro Tip: Sharpen your edges before cold days. Fresh edges give you grip and control — especially on icy in-runs and landings.
Sunny skies, soft snow, and mellow vibes — it must be spring!
Slushy conditions mean slower speed but maximum creativity. It’s the season for style laps, laid-back riding, and playful sessions with friends.
But be careful: soft snow can grab your edges, and landings can feel heavy if you don’t stay light on your feet.
How to ride it:
Stay dynamic — let your legs absorb bumps and ruts. Go for smooth, flowing lines instead of full-send tricks. Keep your speed up to glide through heavier sections.
Pro Tip: Wax matters! A spring-specific wax keeps your board or skis gliding fast through wet snow.
Some days on Planai give you a bit of everything — firm in the morning, slushy at noon, and soft snow in the shade. That’s when adaptability becomes your biggest skill.
Great riders aren’t just good at tricks — they’re good at reading snow.
How to ride it:
Feel the snow before each run — test the speed on your in-run. Adjust speed and pressure depending on each feature’s exposure. Switch up your mindset: focus on fun, not perfection.
Pro Tip: The best riders don’t fight the snow — they flow with it. Treat each run like a new puzzle to solve, and you’ll learn faster than ever.
No matter what the mountain gives you — powder, ice, slush, or anything in between — there’s always something to learn.
Every condition shapes your style differently. It teaches balance, patience, awareness, and adaptability — the secret ingredients of any great park rider.
So next time you drop into Superpark Planai, take a moment to feel the snow under your feet, breathe in the mountain air, and adjust your flow.
Because every turn, every take-off, and every landing starts with one thing: knowing your snow.
