By-the-numbers: Looking back at the 2025/26 FIS Snowboard Park & Pipe World Cup season

From the word “Go” at the season-opening Big Air in Secret Garden (CHN), the 2025/26 FIS Snowboard Park & Pipe World Cup was a wild ride, with the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games adding extra urgency to every competition leading up to February, and then with some heated Crystal Globe battles keeping everything very interesting right to the end of the season in Silvaplana (SUI).

While the podiums, medals, and Globes earned during the course of the 2025/26 season tell part of the story, there are so many other stats, figures, and facts behind the World Cup tour that don’t get looked at, discussed or, in many cases, even considered at all. 

With the end of the World Cup season now nearly two months in the rearview mirror and most resorts around the world closed for the summer or closing soon, we’re taking some time to look back at the winter that was with a ‘by-the-numbers’ recap to highlight a few of those lesser-known figures…
