So in NZ where is the best place to ride DH?
With chairlift acess.
Couldnt find anything of use searching, if someone knows of a thread can you post it please.

There are a few in Queenstown's surrounding mountains, Coronet Peak, Treble Cone and The Skyline Gondola Downhill.

When I was there last year in Rotorua in the redwoods forest there was trail that was built just for downhillers or rather, I only saw downhillers and guys on big bikes riding it. Can't remember the name of the trail though.

Yeah Rotorua is awesome if you're up on the North Island, there's a trail called Little Red Riding Huck that has about 80 tables linked by sweet berms, the jumps are not big but it's heaps of fun. Then there's the National Downhill track, and a few other downhill singletracks, all reached on the shuttle bus.

Hey Doin,

Did you guys do your own shuttles in Rotorua, or did you pay for access via a company???

The track is named Taniwha was a previous NZ Nationals Track may have been Ocea,s as well.Also the 1000 jump track and Billy T,s for fun runs. Unfortunatly 06 worlds track was on private land so cant be ridden as most was put back to origanal condition after race

I paid for the shuttle bus, the trails are all on private land owned by a logging company, so I'm pretty sure no unauthorised vehicles are allowed. Check out www.southstaradventures.com for info on the shuttle, it's $30NZ for six runs. Also look at www.riderotorua.com for info about the trails, maps, etc.
