This takes a lot of the good trails on Coronet. Best done with a friend so you can leave one vehicle a the bottom of Zoot and one at the Coronet base building to avoid the ride up the sealed road. Allow two and a half to three hours.

Addition: On a lift/shuttle day simply use the access road on your (e)bike...

Highly recommend that you check if the lift is running the day you want to climb up this trail. The Kiwis kindness, politeness and niceness seems to reach its limits when you ride this one up on a lift/shuttle day.

Definitely 4. I would say easier than rude rock. Honestly not worth the extra effort.

Fantastic continuation of Rude Rock giving you a really long almost non-stop descent. As Donald Duck says I would class it as a Grade 4 (but I live and ride in Nelson, where the whole thing would barely be a 4, let alone a 5).
If you can ride Rude Rock, you can ride this, just be prepared for a decent pedal back out and to take a couple of bits slowly if Grade 4 is your normal max.

Trail Coronet XC
Climbing is pretty steep in places. Had to push a couple sections. I did start at the very bottom of the O’Connell climb so I was exhausted towards the top. On the downhill there are a couple tight grade 4 corners. Sick track overall

This track is sick. New school dh track with premium dirt. Takes a few laps to know where to send it.

To get the best of this trail do it from Rude Rock and Pack track and Sack. There's also a climb trail from the finish of Rude Rock to join Pack track and Sack.
The start of the original trail is unmaintained and eroded but the rest is awesome.

Track in disrepair. Bottom half completely gone. Not worth the climb up

A must do trail in Queenstown, epic fun, flowing descent, breathtaking views, add Rude Rock or Corotown to the end and you've just ticked off one of the best Queenstown trails.
