DK's Snowboard Cross (known as DK Summit in North America) is the third racecourse of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart Wii. The track takes place on a snowy mountain.

The racetrack starts near the base of the mountain, but quickly leads to a Barrel Cannon which fires racers to the summit. At the summit, players go downhill, entering a half-tunnel pass, where they can perform tricks and get Item Boxes in the air. Certain obstacles appear in the course, such as abysses located in the half-tunnel, and Shy Guys, who practice snowboarding before the finish line. The half-tunnel pass ends immediately in front of the finish line. The mountain's background features wooden buildings as well as two railways, where some Shy Guys sit. A large wooden statue of Mario snowboarding appears in the background of the course. When playing with Miis, the head of the Mario statue is replaced by a Mii head.

There is one shortcut in this course: after the players have passed the bumpy section of the course, they come to an area with a sharp turn around a chasm. If a player drifts and uses the boost, they can jump both gaps and shave at least four seconds off their time.

The stage is similar to DK Mountain from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and DK Pass from Mario Kart DS. Like DK Mountain, it has a Barrel Cannon aimed at a mountain and a zigzagging, crevice-filled path to the goal line, and like DK Pass is it covered in snow and has various small snowpiles that slow the player down if they run into them, as well as numerous Boost Pad ramps.
