Coronet Peak Bike Park Set to Close on Feb 25
FRIDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 2007
The Coronet Peak Bike Park, a prime mountain biking destination in New Zealand, is scheduled to close this Sunday, February 25 at 7 pm after an active first full-operating season.
The Park started its full-operating season last January 3. David Olendale, Southern Alpine Recreation sales and marketing manager, said that they are delighted with the high attendance of mountain bikers of all skill levels during the past two months. "By utilizing the natural terrain at Coronet Peak outside the winter ski season, we recognize the potential to generate significant income for Queenstown during summer months through mountain biking. We anticipate further developing these facilities in 2008," Olendale added.
Former World Junior Downhill Mountain Bike Champion Hagen described Coronet Peak's 1.6 km downhill track as similar to professional trails in Europe. The Park also features a 4.2 km downhill X Country tracks and a mini park with jumps, seesaws, and berms.
