Thredbo’s signature trail, the famous Cannonball DH Trail takes riders to their physical and mental limits. Starting at the top of the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift and descending 600m vertically through the tree-lined Supertrail slopes. Cannonball tests riders with off-camber roots, rock drops, jumps, wall-ride and other technical features that the gravity specialists dream about. Recent upgrades include the addition of World Cup style sections that have been widened with more fall-line added along with some big jumps in the mix for the freeriders *Full-face helmet compulsory.

Cannonball is without a doubt Australia's most famous (and feared) DH trail. Despite being a black diamond on paper, it is often considered that Cannonball should be of double black difficulty. There are some massive rock gardens on this trail as well as multiple gap jumps and drops that are worthy of a double black difficulty level, but they are all optional. There are also some massive kickers on Cannonball (such as the final jump) that are 100% double black difficulty. Overall this is an incredibly fun and rewarding trail which will put a smile on your dace when you reach the plaza at the bottom. Definitely not for the faint of heart!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
