THREDBO
AFTER a hearty breakfast at Cuisine, we made the short trip up the Alpine Way to Thredbo. Upon arriving, we headed to Thredbo MTB Retail & Rental to meet up with Thredbo MTB’s main men, Timmy and Danny.
As our visit was pre-season to see what was in store for this summer, we went up the access road in our trusty Isuzu MUX. With Danny at the helm, we made our way up to where the trail crew was working on Ricochet. On the way up, Timmy filled us in on a new green trail that’s being built from the top of the Gunbarrel Chairlift all the way to the valley. This trail will follow a similar path to the lower All-Mountain. Whilst the trail is scheduled for completion in summer 21/22, it will be a great addition to the Thredbo network, and make the already inclusive resort accessible for absolute beginners.
Our first lap down Australia’s most famous gravity destination didn’t disappoint. Ricochet was running about as prime as any trail you’ll find, anywhere. It was clear from the first
