Trails around Wagga or Tumbarumba?

[Tubbsy]

They're closed for winter until some time in September. I'd say when they call it open it should be good, plus the El Niño thing means it's likely to be drier than usual.

Thanks @Tubbsy

Might aim for end of September/Early October then

I was in Tumba yesterday and there was some light snow around on the hills. As said they put out some comms when the park re-opens, typically early spring pending temps.

Mt Tumbarumba reopens September 5 and you should be excited! We had no idea what to expect from this relatively new trail network on the edge of the NSW Snowy Mountains. From afar, Mt Tumbarumba...

Some nice footage of the trails if you can ignore the constant Bosch product placement...

Just watched this, this is very cool, I definitely want to visit in the next few months. Tumba is a lovely little town.

Those trails look excellent. I like how they seem moderately techy, but more in places where you can choose to go fast or roll slow with brake application (ie: stuff looks generally rollable, but speed and creativity decides potential sketchiness and reward for bravery). At lot of trails these days seem to favour jumps and jumps and jumps but offer little else.

Jackson Frew just did a vid there as well. Lots of chunk for a modern MTB park, I’m super keen to get there this year.

I do appreciate people making their own videos about things, but ffs I do not need four minutes coverage of your drive to get to the trailhead.

Ah I don't mind that part, also the Flow vids integrate that pretty well so it's not completely dull. Besides they're promoting the venue as a place to go and support the local region via tourism which is generally why these places get approved in the first place.

Flow do a pretty good job of creating a neat package for the state/council/tourism board's money.
They are not there out of the goodness of their heart

Yep - get your point/s - but the flow vids are a bit lifestyle TV for me. For what it's worth I found Tumbarumba a great little town, bike shop was friendly, pub was good, I could get good coffee. The gin distillery was a bit brunch crowd for me but I guess that's their target audience (I still went - I liked their gin).

Yep Tumba riding is great not huge bit really worthwhile.
