Coronet peak has announced it is kicking-off its summer season with a new mountain biking trail.
The final yards of the Upper Rude Rock Trail are expected to be ready by 11 December.
The Queenstown mountain is about to change gears with the switch from winter sports to an action packed mountain biking programme. Over the past three years this has become increasingly important for the ski field, as the sport grows with Kiwis, heading to the hills all year round.
The new Grade 4 track is part of the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club's long term plan. It is an extension of the popular Rude Rock Trail.
