The Northern Hemisphere might be bereft of snow but our upside down friends are only just starting to see the white stuff for the first time this year, and that means one thing – loads of events to look forward to over Summer.

Australia and New Zealand don’t always have the quality of snow Europe and America get, but they more than make up for it with a ton of parties, festivals and tour events. North America also plays host to some Summer slush and there’s a few worthwhile events knocking about across the pond.

So grab the sun lotion, pack your board and make sure you catch these six summer snowboard bonanzas.
