Mountain Biking is Getting Hot In Thredbo This Summer

Posted on 20 Sep, 2017

If you thought winter in Thredbo was lit – just wait until this summer when the Mountain Biking scene starts to heat up. Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports in the WORLD, and Thredbo is right at the forefront. Here’s some of the highlights and new and exciting things we’ve got in store for MTB this summer…

New and updated trails & tracks

With an already complex and wide variety of ever-expanding  network of trails, including cross-country, gravity and parks, the Thredbo Trail Crew are collaborating with Dirt Art  – world leaders in trail building – to build a great collection of link trails to connect everything up, so riders can change up their style and trail as they explore the 600 vertical metres of terrain. In addition, the Kosciuszko Flow Trail is getting redone, along with the Thredbo 10km All-Mountain Trail at the Cruiser area and there will be substantial work on the Thredbo Bike Park, with a DA submitted to bring it to among the best in the world.

World class events and competitions

Thredbo is lucky enough to host one of the biggest MTB Festivals in the world: the Cannonball Mountain Bike Festival, which will be running December 6-10 2017. It’s like no other – 5 day days of some of the worlds top riders, as well as amateurs and up-and-coming juniors,  the biggest prizes in Australian MTB and insane entertainment and events. For the second year, The Thredbo Super Enduro will also be a big attraction, on February 24-25 2018, where riders get 1 bike and 5 hours to get the best possible time down 3 epic gravity trails in pursuit of the prestigious title of Thredbo Super Enduro Champion. With individual and  team categories, this is an awesome one for you to grab a few mates and put together a team for an awesome day of fun.

Clinics, lessons and coaching for every level of rider

If you’re new to mountain biking – don’t be overwhelmed, Thredbo now offers 2 hour beginners, intermediate and advanced clinics DAILY, as well as the option of 2.5 hour private lessons with an instructor, tailored to the level of the rider. For kids on school holidays, we will also have 3 hour junior ride clinics every weekend and throughout the holidays for kids 10-15years old which includes FREE lift access during the class, giving kids an awesome introduction to the trails and include the option to upgrade to a full day lift ticket.
