Meet Into The Wild at the trailhead, 8.30am

Our ground staff will help you load onto the helicopter with your bike at our landing zone above the Silver City trailhead and car park. On take-off, you’ll rise above the tree canopy and see the scale of 37km of network before landing at the highest point, Galena Peak at 720m. From there you’ll descend Stormsdown.

The single uplift option will see ride on fresh legs on one of the best backcountry descents in Australia, before climbing up to the start of Oonah Hill Descent and back to the trailhead and car park.

Option 2: Double Uplift $960 (per person)

A Double Uplift will see you picked up by the helicopter at the bottom of Stormsdown to rinse and repeat for one more descent. After your second ride down Stormsdown, you’ll climb up to the start of Oonah Hill Descent and ride back to the trailhead and car park.

Option 3: Triple Uplift $1,440 (per person)

A Triple Uplift will see you picked up by the helicopter at the bottom of Stormsdown to rinse and repeat for two more descents. The ultimate way to session this epic trail. After your third ride down Stormsdown, you’ll climb up to the start of Oonah Hill Descent and ride back to the trailhead and car park.

Itinerary

Each day will begin at 8.30 am, and conclude at 5.00 pm. Your flight time will be confirmed closer to the weekend as allocation will be based on weather, weights, group bookings and number of single/double/triple bookings.

Plan on it being a whole-day adventure!

We will do our best to ensure that you and the people in your booking fly together, but due to weight restrictions, we cannot guarantee that. If your group needs to be split, we're happy for you to wait at the top of the trail network (Galena Peak) for the rest of your crew to arrive on subsequent flight(s).

Your bike and riding gear must to be clean. If you turn up with dirty gear or bikes you will be directed to the bike wash in town to clean your gear, and you could miss your flight. We do not provide refunds for missed flights.

It is your responsibility to provide own bike, tools & equipment, food & drink, and own transport to/from the trail network. Due to the remote location, prepare for unexpected weather changes and spares for bike repair whilst on trail.

Have you provided accurate weights? If any weight measurement has been guessed, please take the time to record an accurate weight and resubmit to us via bookings@gointothewild.com.au. An Into The Wild staff member will also double check this before confirming your booking. Due to weight restrictions and calculations, your aircraft allotment is final. If you’re riding in a group, note you may depart on different flights due to weight considerations. You are welcome to wait for your remaining group members to arrive on subsequent flights at the top of the trail before proceeding with your ride.
