World Trail commences work on brand new mountain bike trail at Mt Buller

Media Release / 04.04.2011

Designed and constructed by Glen Jacobs and his team at World Trail, Copperhead marks the beginning of stage four of the Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resort Management Board’s five-stage trail development plan.

A mix between a beginner downhill and a cross-country trail, Copperhead is described as a ‘flowdown’ style, and according to World Trail’s director, Glen Jacobs, represents a whole new area for mountain biking in Australia. “No one has built anything like this in Australia”, he said. “Copperhead is a unique concept, incorporating a flow country style but with a downhill edge. We’ve incorporated a few of our innovations from over the years to create a trail that will suit both downhill and cross-country bikes and all types of riders.”



And according to Jacobs, Mt Buller is the ideal location for this innovative trail. “Mt Buller is the perfect spot to introduce this type of funk and flow to the marketplace. The team at Buller is all about progressing their mountain bike product and it’s something we’re really happy to attach ourselves to. We’re creating a new style of riding that’d never been seen before, and for it to be happening at Mt Buller is really exciting.”

Mt Buller has committed to a range of developments in stages four and five of the trail development plan, including construction of an advanced skills park, implementation of improved trail signage, the development of new trails to better link existing loops, and the provision of bike facilities and amenities such as car parking hardstands, bike washes, picnic facilities and more.
