Thredbo MTB Park | What’s NewAs well as the return of everyone’s favourite trails like Sidewinder and Cannonball, Thredbo will be adding a new Cruiser area to the MTB Park this summer. The new area will feature three new gravity trails for beginners and intermediates; Paparazzi, Grasshopper and Easy Rider. With four lifts operating throughout the season, the new trails will increase the size of the park's lift-accessed terrain to over forty kilometres.
To maximise riding time, the Cruiser Chairlift and Gunbarrel Chairlift will both have new state-of-the-art bike carriers installed, increasing Gunbarrel’s uplift capacity by over forty per cent. Plus, riders can look forward to experiencing a revamp of the current network including trail realignments and rebuilds, progressive jump and skill parks and a huge range of clinics and programs for all ages.

So much more to do in Queenstown after riding, and more than 2 choices of place to have dinner.
Don't get me wrong I love Queenstown, but you're going to get more people from Sydney going to thredbo rather than Queenstown for a weekend because it's inherently cheaper and easier.
I feel it's missing information, like I want to know more but it just ends.
(yes, I do know about Thredbo, just feel like the clip doesn't convey a message)
Rebuilds should be good though, place has needed it for years.
Driving along the highway anywhere between Sydney and Jindabyne you'll see hoardes of cars packed with bikes heading there.
But I keep coming back.... year after year for some reason. After doing Queenstown, I don't know why us Sydneysiders bother with Thredders.
Mount Buller has had chairs to the bike park for decades.
Trail opening delayed by the storms this year but far as I'm aware they're opening soon if not already with lifts, pump track, and airbag and all. Happy to be wrong on the lifts if something has changed?
Anyhoo, keen to get up to Shredbo over the summer!
Unfortunately, our snow resorts are mostly useless when it comes to biking. Been that way for 20 years
The cable as it passes through the station.
Result is as far as I’m aware no more lifts. I believe blue dirt are running shuttles though!
There must be something wrong.
