RATING: |
Beginner Trails: |
Only 1 trail really. They need more to bring in beginner riders. |
|
Intermediate Trails: |
Most of them would fall in to this category. |
|
Advanced Trails: |
More like advanced features than advanced trails. |
|
Technical trails: |
Only in sections. |
|
Flow/jump trails: |
Good flow, and some good jumps, but not really a dedicated big hit machine-built jump trail. |
|
Trail variety: |
All the different styles of riding exist, but the quantity & quality of the riding needs improvement. |
|
Trail Conditions: |
Generally good quality trails. However, the jump line near the bottom of the mountain was in bad shape. (But they had plans to rebuild the bottom part of that trail.) |
|
Trail signposting: |
A couple of points we had to get out the map and were totally confused about which trail we were on. |
|
Other trails in area: |
Visit was too short unfortunately. But we hear there is great XC in the area. |

COMMENTS: |
RATING: |
Staff friendliness: |
Bike Park yes. Hotel not so much – seemed to think a flood in the cabin following heavy rainfall was no big deal, despite water pooling on the floor around an electric socket. Not handled well at all. |
|
Family-friendly: |
BOOM – makes you tired just reading about all there is to do. |
|
Restaurants: |
Got to keep fuelled! 5 casual diners, 2 fine-dining restaurants, and a load of bars and lounges. Get stuffed. |
|
Nightlife: |
Sort of. Depends how much you drink at the bars, and who you are with! |
