Wynyard Jam This Saturday

The QMTBC Wynyard sub-committee are bringing you another epic Atlas Wynyard Jam! It's taking place from 5pm-7pm, this Saturday (10th Jan) at the Wynyard Freeride Terrain Park(needless to say). 

This year will also see the very first Vertigo Bikes Wynyard Whip Off, with $500 up for grabs for the best whip. Along with the biking action there will also be beats and a BBQ to keen you entertained, so come and check it out. We'll see you there.

Wynyard Terrain Park Re-Named after Atlas!

Between our Pints for Wynyard Campaign and this year's Season of Shred party we've managed to raise a substantial $12,154.5 for QMTBC. The money will go towards maintaining the Wynyard track and also improving the Fernhill Loop.

We can also announce that QMTBC recently decided to re-name the Wynyard Freeride Terrain Park after Atlas! It's now the Atlas Wynyard Freeride Terrain Park in honour of our fundraising efforts over the past couple of years. We're all pretty chuffed but can honestly say we were, and are, more than happy to pitch in an contribute however we can. Mountain biking has been for long time a prominent past time in the Queenstown community and it feels like it's exploded in the past couple of years. We are just genuinely happy to support a cause that we feel can benefit the whole community. 

We'll be keeping you updated with how the fundraising money is being spent and our grateful thanks again to everyone who supported this year's Pints for Wynyard and Season of Shred party. 

Now let's get out there and shred!

Pints for Wynyard is On!

Tomorrow sees the start of our October promotion. We’ve teamed up with Emerson’s, Coopers, Altitude Brewing Studios, Zeffer, Invercargill Brewery and Beaver Liquor/Betty's to donate one dollar from every pint of draught sold at Atlas to the Wynyard Freeride Terrain Park. We raised a substantial amount of money for Wynyard last year so we are aiming to do the same this October. Last year’s dollars contributed towards various works at the terrain park including:

- Two new pro line jumps on the Dream Track
- A new safer walk-up track for Mini Dream
- Rebuilding the beginner lines for better progression
- Re-routing a section of the downhill track to stop an erosion problem
- Maintenance of the downhill track and jumps area.

Currently QMTBC, who maintain Wynyard with local contractor Phatlines, are in the process of getting many of the older wooden features inspected by an engineer. It’s likely that some will need replacing so we're sure any money raised at Atlas this October will yet again put to good use.

So, if you happen to be strolling into town for a quiet pint why not drop in and enjoy one at Atlas? Not only will you be sipping on a quality beer but you’ll be helping out with a great community cause - without even moving from your chair!

As always, please enjoy your pints responsibly
