Surf, Skate, Snowboard and Ski in Singapore at Trifecta

You’ll soon be able to snowboard and ski in Singapore! Trifecta by The Ride Side opens on Orchard offering surfing, skating, snowboarding and skiing in Singapore!

Trifecta by The Ride Side on Orchard Road home to many shopping malls is where you’ll be able to skate, surf, ski and snowboard in Singapore! Trifecta will open on 28 October 2023, and will feature the world’s first hybrid skate bowl designed for skateboarding and surfskating, plus facilities for both beginners and seasoned pros to learn and train for surfing and winter sports (though it won’t have an ice skating rink)! It’s going to be the perfect spot for training the kiddos before heading to the real ski slopes in Japan! But what’s it really like and are the Trifecta tickets worth it?

Trifecta, Singapore on Orchard Rd

Trifecta is located next to Somerset Skate Park on Orchard Road. The 4,609sqm sports venue (that’s as big as four Olympic swimming pools!) will allow visitors to try both winter and summer sports under one roof! They’ll do this with the help of high-tech, state-of-the-art machines, including indoor surf and snow simulators. That said, Trifecta does not have snow – instead, they’re going for a more environmentally sustainable approach by using a special surface material that mimics the feel of snow when you ski or skateboard on it.

Snow Arena: Snowboard & Skiing in Singapore

The Trifecta Snow Arena features virtual reality ski simulator machines with speed simulation and directional movements to mimic natural mountain terrain. There’s a slope for snowboarding on astroturf and one for skiing.

The freestyle area is fitted with airbags so riders can try snowboarding tricks such as jumps and backflips safely. Is it ‘worth it’? We reckon it is! If you haven’t tried snowboarding or skiing before and want to teach the kids a few skills before heading to the slopes, this Trifecta snow experience could offer a fun introduction to winter sports.

The astroturf slopes can move fast or slow depending on the user’s experience and comfort levels (this speed is controlled by an instructor) so as beginners we found the snowboarding experience really fun and not scary at all! Plus unlike the real thing you are pretty comfortable – there are blowers and the slopes are sheltered so you aren’t freezing like you could be on the slopes of Japan or in Europe! Everyone needs to do an introduction class (from $80) before trying out any of the snow sports.
Trifecta snow tickets: from $40 for Open Sessions during Off Peak timing (this is after you have done the initial intro class).

‘Indoor’ Surfing at Trifecta

Featuring Asia’s largest and deepest standing wave pool at 10m wide, the Trifecta’s Surf Arena can generate waves as high as 1.5m!

Surfing is the name of the game here, so visitors can grab a surfboard and hit the waves in this Olympic-size deep-water wave pool. Everyone needs to do an introduction class (from $100) before trying out the surf arena.

Trifecta surf tickets: from $80 for Open Sessions during Off Peak timing (this is after you have done the initial intro class).

Skate Arena: Skateboard & Surfskate

Try more than 10 types of skate bowl features here. The bowl also doubles up as a rainwater harvesting pool, as they aim to recycle the rainwater collected in this unsheltered part of the sports venue.
