While we’ve just passed the halfway point of the summer up here in the Northern Hemisphere, down south of the equator the winter season is ramping up in a big way, and with those snowy southern days in full swing both the South American Cup (SAC) and Australia New Zealand Cup (ANC) seasons are set to begin for FIS Park & Pipe.
The 2026 South American Cup will feature two stops for both Snowboard and Freeski – Cerro Castor Ushuaia (ARG) from 18-19 August, followed by Valle Nevado (CHN), from 07-11 September.
The Cerro Castor event will see Big Air and Slopestyle competitions going down for both the freeskiers and the snowboarders, while Valle Nevado will host two Big Air and two Slopestyle competitions for both disciplines.
For the 2026 Australia New Zealand Cup competition schedule, action will get underway in Australia’s Thredbo Resort from 25-27 August with Big Air and Slopestyle competitions going down. From there it’s over to New Zealand, where The Remarkables will host Slopestyle events from 25-27 September, before the ANC season closes out with Premium-designated Big Air, Slopestyle, and Halfpipe competitions at Cardrona Alpine Resort from 03-08 October.
At all three 2026 ANC stops, all competitions will feature both Freeski and Snowboard disciplines.
