The Thredbo Mountain Bike Boom Begins.

Thredbo-Mountain-Biking-Chairlift-RideMountain Biking in Thredbo has just turned the corner. Until now the resort operator Kosciusko Thredbo (KT), ?has only had an?arms-length?involvement with mountain biking, providing the chairlift access and direction on where and how people can ride on the mountain. ?The ?daily operation and much of the trail?development?has been left to?independent?operators like South East Mountain Biking and before them Raw NRG. ?These operators have done some great things with the sport in Thredbo but they have never had the resources or the capacity to take the trail development to the next level. ? That all changed this week when ?KT officially took over the operation of Mountain Bike activities in the resort and they have big plans. ?Operating as Thredbo MTB ?they have already engaged ?a world renowned Mountain Bike trail builder, ??World Trails? to produce ?a Mountain Bike Concept ?plan for the resort ?that will see the ?trail network expand dramatically ?into a world class trail network that make Thredbo an Iconic Mountain Bike destination. ? ? This summer we will see the first wave of this new trail?development?with the opening of ?a brand new ??Flow? track. ?The Flow track will make it ? possible for any competent mountain biker to ride the Chairlift and enjoy downhill riding on the mountain without having to face some of the more technical challenges that have kept the experts coming back. Thredbo MTB will continue to the run ?Mountain bike events ?in the village as well as the services needed to keep bikes rolling so ?South East Mountain Biking?s ?Dynamic Duo Tim Windshuttle and Danny Taliana ?will be ?back to run these operations for ?Thredbo MTB and ensure that the new venture gets off to a great start. ?Thredbo MTB already has the following ?events locked in for the coming season:

  1. ?Round #5 ?of the NSW State Championships; 17th & 18th Nov
  2. Round #2 National MTB Series Championships; 8th ? 10th Feb 2013
  3. Australian MTB Interschool?s; 15th ? 17th Mar 2013
