点评:*summer time* review:
Basically, from what I experienced the village is mostly closed. Stores close their doors based on bookings in the area so if you’re after specific kit, don’t bet on a range of stores being open.
As for the MTB trails, I booked three days of lift passes. On day one, I quickly realised the quality control on these trails is not up to standard.
Not by a long shot.
I’ve ridden many council maintained trails that are in far better condition than these. Started the day by doing some reconnaissance on greens and blues - all rutted out. And yes, my bike is well specced and dialled in for these trails. It sucks when you see videos on social media of manicured trails advertising Thredbo and then arrive to a vastly different experience.
If I had children who are still learning the ropes, I would not send them down these. The damage on the green trails makes it unsafe for early beginners.
Signage is another issue - you’ll find yourself in a fork in the trail with no signage. I saw many people stopping to figure out where they were, including myself. My husband and I had to pull off and check trail forks to figure it out and help other families.
Signage from the snow season was also still left up.
It feels as if these trails haven’t been looked at with any frequency which is disappointing considering the price point of hotel + passes for this area. As the gondola opens at 9.30 and closes by 4, I would have thought there was a fair chunk of day light left for trail maintenance.
My recommendation is to go support your local shuttles and ride trails that aren’t corrugated to 💩 . Your wallet and repetitive strain injury prone wrists will thank me.
I’ll be spending my money elsewhere for both MTB trails and for ski seasons. Disappointed to say the least.
翻译:*夏季*体验:
基本上,就我的经验而言,这个村庄大部分都关门了。商店会根据周边地区的预订情况关门,所以如果你想买特定的装备,就别指望很多商店都开门了。
至于山地车道,我预订了三天的缆车票。第一天,我就很快意识到这些车道的质量控制不达标。
差远了。
我骑过很多市政维护的车道,状况都比这里好得多。我先去绿道和蓝道上探探路——全都坑坑洼洼的。而且,我的自行车配置很高,也针对这些车道进行了调校。在社交媒体上看到斯雷德博(Thredbo)那些精心维护的车道视频,结果到了现场却发现完全不一样,真是太让人失望了。
如果我的孩子还在学习骑行,我绝对不会让他们去这些车道。绿道上的损坏程度让初学者感到非常不安全。
路标也是个问题——你会发现自己走到岔路口,却没有任何路标。我看到很多人停下来弄清楚自己在哪,包括我自己。我和我丈夫不得不靠边停车,查看岔路口,弄清楚方向,并帮助其他家庭。
雪季的路标也还保留着。
感觉这些步道很久没人维护了,考虑到这个地区酒店和通行证的价格,这真令人失望。缆车早上9:30开放,下午4点关闭,我以为还有相当多的白天时间可以用来维护步道。
我的建议是,支持当地的班车服务,去那些路面平整、没有坑坑洼洼的步道骑行。你的钱包和容易受伤的手腕都会感谢我的。
我以后会把钱花在其他地方骑山地车和滑雪。真是太失望了。
