Come along to a chilled out Wynyard jam from 5pm on Friday Feb 3. There’ll be some shuttles running for the Wynyard DH plus the usual great food on the barbie and some of the best trail jumps in NZ, what more do you want?
The Queenstown mountain bike club have just started talks with the QLDC to try and get the locals favourite Fernhill Loop track back into good shape on the Fernhill side. The track through the beech trees on the QBP side is pretty sweet thanks to the guys from Outside Sports who have been doing some great work clearing deadfalls to keep it open. The Fernhill Loop track was recently handed over to QLDC from DOC and the council don’t currently have any funding available for maintaining it.
Over the last couple of years the trail on the Fernhill side has taken a bit of a battering from some extreme weather which has caused a bit of damage to the trail including a large tree windfall that has caused the trail to be practically impassable. It’s early days yet, but your club will be working hard with QLDC and local businesses to try to get this amazing trail back into shape all the way through to Fernhill for riders and walkers to enjoy for many years to come.

The guys at Coronet Peak are doing some work on a new Grand Slalom course out by the T Bar and as a result the middle section of the Coronet Peak mountain bike XC trail will be closed for 6 to 8 weeks starting from Monday (Jan 23). The closed portion will be the areas immediately above and below the top of the T Bar which unfortunately means the trail will not really be ride-able. The good news is that they intend on fully re-instating the trail when the work is complete. Coronet Peak will be doing all required work themselves and club has offered to assist if they want any advice from our expert trail masters.
Please respect the closure as Coronet Peak are very aware of the popularity of mountain biking in the area and the club would like to work closely with them in the near future to open some more great trails on the hill. It may be difficult to do this if they are unhappy with the local mountain bike community!
