Skyline Gondola to renew Mountain Bike access
Mark your calendars, Skyline Queenstown are planning to kick off a second season of
gondola access for mountain bikers in 2011/2012 once a management agreement has been
confirmed with Queenstown Lakes District Council. The second season, providing access to
Queenstown’s world class bike trails within the Ben Lomond Reserve, is planned to run for a
massive 8 months from September 2011 through to the end of April 2012*.
This longer season is expected to bring even more attention to Queenstown as bikers
continue to travel to fuel their demand for dirt, “We are very excited to be running a second
season of mountain biking and can’t wait to see the bike scene in Queenstown grow to reach
it’s full potential” Blair Deasy – General Manager, Skyline Queenstown.
In January 2011 Mountain Bike history was made when Skyline Queenstown opened New
Zealand’s only gondola accessed mountain bike lift. The lift has since hosted thousands of
riders within the 4 month trial season providing easy access to million dollar views and a
myriad of mountain bike trails. With the continuation of gondola access at Skyline the future of
mountain biking in Queenstown is set to take off.
