I'm heading to the Snowy Mountains this summer with the #1 goal of spending a few days on the Thredbo Downhill. I've watched countless youtube vids but its always hard to tell the severity of the terrain.

1. Comparison - Can anyone provide a comparison of Thredbo vs Manly Dam (Allambie Fire Trail and Water Lab). Steepness of trail, size of the steps/drops, radical changes in speed needed to survive etc?

2. Bike - On the first day I will hire gear, but from then on I plan on riding my Giant Reign 1 .... thoughts?

Any suggestions for easy/medium level family rides around the Jindabyne/Snowy Mountains area?

We are heading to the Snowies after the Mont, staying at Jindabyne and have 5 days in the local area. Appreciate any suggestions for local trails (both single track and gravel) suitable for our three boys (10, 12, 13) and S.O. Thank you.

I was cruising google earth the other day, and saw this series of trails up in the snowys, and i started to wonder...

It looks like a fairly do-able loop, i remember reading somewhere about the possibility of riding it as a 2-3 day spring ride. With either a car shuffle or a long bit of road bash.

Anyone familiar with it? Done it? other options in the vicinity?

(it starts at Dead horse gap)

I am heading down to Thredbo to do some Cannonball shenanigans this coming Anzac long weekend.

Just wondering if anyone else had any plans to head down and wanted to get together for some runs down the mountain.

I will be riding Sunday 25th and Maybe the afternoon of Saturday 24th.
