The Matrix at Glentress is now back open! Here’s how it’s looking top to bottom.

We got the final trail repairs on this classic Red Route section completed this week and also did a deep clean out of all the drainage channels. It’s running really well.

A BIG thank you to all the Glentress Trailfairies who helped with the tidy up of the trail and fall zones at the June and July sessions.

Next up we’ll be finishing work on Double X then working on Head Over Heels and Ewok Village, aiming to get these Black Route sections all back open by the end of September.

Have a great weekend!
