Yesterday was the final day of the 2023-24 MTB season at Thredbo MTB Park, with the resort announcing that it will re-open to riders on November 16, 2024.
MTB Business Manager, Tim Windshuttle said that this MTB season at Thredbo was a testament to the bright future of mountain biking in Australia.
“Thredbo MTB Park has really grown into a world-class mountain biking destination now. With Australia’s only lift-accessed MTB trails, the country’s biggest MTB events and all the recent trail development, we’re incredibly proud to offer such a high-quality MTB experience right here in the Snowy Mountains,”
“With the Australian MTB community continuing to grow and strengthen, we saw increased participation in all our MTB events this season including the Cannonball MTB Festival, Interschools and Thredbo Gravity Series. It’s awesome to watch this sport continue to take flight in Australia with Thredbo as the home of downhill racing,” said Mr Windshuttle.
Closing celebrations drew in big rider numbers across the weekend, offering a huge line-up of riding, racing and live music. On Saturday, the final round of the Thredbo Gravity Series presented by Fox took over the MTB Park. The famous Maxxis Chainless Champs event saw competitors get in costume and hit the course for a hilarious yet heated race before enjoying presentations, a fashion parade and a Closing Party at the Schuss Bar with a set from DJ FIN. On Sunday, everyone took to the trails to get in their last laps before the MTB Park officially closed for another season.
New Trails Announced For 2024-25 Season
Thredbo MTB Park is excited to announce that it will be debuting a range of exciting developments to complement the expanding trail network next season.
Two new sections of trail accessed by the Kosciuszko Chairlift are set to give riders more variety and options on that popular side of the bike park.
Other exciting upgrades include a huge realignment on the Kosciuszko Flow moving some of the trail off the open ski slopes and into the trees, a new small section of trail on the Lower All-Mountain trail as well as massive rebuilds on existing trails including Kosciuszko Flow, All-Mountain & Grasshopper.
An exciting new intermediate jumps trail will also open in 2025 with some further major trail developments to be announced soon.
