Copperhead Trail

With the launch of this new trail just last week, and words like unique, flow and downhill filling the spaces for description, I just had to check out Mt Buller’s latest collaboration with World Trail. Coined as a “flow down” trail, Copperhead is gravity assisted, machine rolled and capped trail featuring plenty of berms and rollers. Offering a downhill like descent with none of the demanding technical features, no crazy rock-gardens, no drop-offs, no gaps. But don’t think that it is just a stroll down the hill, there is still plenty of downhill edge, just let go of your brakes and while the trail is still fresh the loose top surface was like riding on marbles.
The trail is achievable on every style of bike, XC hard-tail through to a full DH rig. Riders should look forward to the official opening of the MTB season and chair lift to make the most of this trail. Copperhead and the chair lift will be the feature of the Bike Buller MTB Festival Stage 2 Race – The 5hr Brake-Burner. With the growing popularity of Super D and All-mountain events, were downhill and cross-country trails are incorporated, Bike Buller is leading the way to bringing gravity trails to all mountainbikers.
