Overall reasonable. No investment  to build quality trails to keep up with modern bikes / riding styles. 

No black & even the red is not exactly challenging.  With investment which FC won’t put in dalby could be a lot better, it’s only the of piste that keeps people going. 

What do you like?

Of piste as being honest that’s the only reason I ride Dalby 

What could be improved?

Some good quality technical trails would be a start 

Would you recommend?

no

Dalby Forest got me Back at It

Getting an ebike transformed this trail centre for me. I'm hitting it faster and further than ever before. Trails are techy enough but not for the jumpers. Development of the trails and maintenance has improved in recent years too. 
After major surgery it gave me a great way back to fitness. 

What do you like?

Facilities (though the visitor centre cafe is very speedy)

trails are generally rideable all year round though last winter I was surprised to see some closed due to a bit of snow. 

What could be improved?

Cost of cafe

cost of car park creeping up but still reasonable value for access to the trails

could do with some longer steeper trails on the descents 

Would you recommend?

yes
