Super_mil Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah i think it's up there. Hopefully they keep on making this track all the way down. They said there was gonna be extensive work done on Zore to make up for the loss of pleney. We found a cool steep unmarked trail on the far right hand side of the hill (when looking from the top lift down), although it did deposit you out in Morzine about 700m downstream of the Super-Morzine lift. I really enjoyed Zore and it is relatively undeveloped. I have to stop coming back to this thread, it's getting me down.

You need to be careful on the off piste stuff on Zore. aparently the farmers have been getting pissed off and putting logs and stuff across the tracks. I've heard that Zore will be the main focus point for trail development in Morzine over the next few years. They are trying to pull people away from the Les Gets staples onto the other side. It really lends itself to if with that lovely constant gradient and being one the way to Chatel, Morgins etc. AAAAAAAAAMPEDDDDDDD!!!!
Super_mil Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Chatel bike park opens June 22!Apparently more snow at the end of the season has delayed the opening a wee bit.Not that it matters for me (this year) http://www.pinkbike.com/v/317172/l/ RM Slayer 1

There's uphill... then there's alps UPHILL! during 2 weeks there I only saw 1 XC rider riding UP the mountain, all others used the lifts. Those are not like the koppies we have in SA. I'd suggest using the lifts and then following the XC trails (there are some demarkated). But riding up to the trails from the town... not a good idea
Guest Omega Man Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 New track on Zore http://www.pinkbike.com/video/317161
patches Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 New track on Zore http://www.pinkbike.com/video/317161 track looks awesome... but after watching that I need a disprin.
Whatsup! Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, but I was not implying actually riding uphill.I am all for the lifts.
patches Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, but I was not implying actually riding uphill.I am all for the lifts. One of the main reasons we go
Guest Omega Man Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 track looks awesome... but after watching that I need a disprin.Yeah. The chesty mount needs a bit of tightening.
hayleyearth Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 New track on Zore http://www.pinkbike.com/video/317161 I seriously want need to learn to do drops (not too big, about 1m) before I go!looks like lekker riding that one!
Guest Omega Man Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 I seriously want need to learn to do drops (not too big, about 1m) before I go!looks like lekker riding that one!There are some drops on Pleney from small to large. The problem is they are RIGHT in front of the lift so if you go down you will get laughed at.
Guest Omega Man Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 So 14 people have indicated their intention to come next year. only 20 spots available folks. First come first served.
David D Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I'll be going next year, similar time.But I'll make my own plans, don't want to hold you back. See you on the hill.
Guest Omega Man Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I'll be going next year, similar time.But I'll make my own plans, don't want to hold you back. See you on the hill.Sweet. hope you are there the same time as us. would be rad to have 25+ saffa's there at the same time.
Guest Omega Man Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 It had to happen. One of the guys in our group broke his wrist 2 days ago. A little advice for anyone going on a trip like this. Know your limits. stay within those limits. Before and during the trip. You are not going to become a pro overnight and pushing yourself beyond your own ability will only lead to frustration and inevitably. Injury. He's still coming along but now he's probly going to be riding his trail bike. Doing a bit of Recce for next year.
