Duane_Bosch Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I vote for Les Gets. Only because I've been there 9 times. Fly in to Geneva. Sleazyjet cheapieShuttle in. 47 euro pp.Stay in Morzine. There's a bus service that runs between Morz And Les Gets which forms part of your multipass. Or better yet catch the pleney lift and roll down into Les Gets from there.It's super cheap to be there.650km of trail for when you aren't blowing your vuvuzela For the kids the multipass for 2 Euro a day gives you access to the pools, Ice Rink, Skate park, tennis courts and of course all of the pedestrian lifts. There's a cool swimming lake in Les Gets with a blow up obstacle course and an overhead obstacle course thing in the trees. There's also the goat village in Lindarets and the ridonculous fantasticable in Chatel. Did I mention the 650km of marked trail and the 22 ski lifts?
Eddy Gordo Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 As a slight deviation from this "holl" debate....... My daughter is insisting we go watch one world cup event next year (read as try and get a pic with Loic). My heart says fort William... But logistically and picturesquely Leogang seems like the better choice Given the choice.... What would you go for....Choices are..

SwissVan Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Blow your vuvuzela....Ha ha ha very funny, I enjoyed that.Or you can rev your chainsaw ( optional with the blade and muffler removed), far more nosier than any vuvuzela
ChrisF Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Or you can rev your chainsaw ( optional with the blade and muffler removed), far more nosier than any vuvuzela Heard the chainsaws on the tv broadcast ... why ? what is the history of chainsaws and these races ? Or were they just keeping the ebikes in check ...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Heard the chainsaws on the tv broadcast ... why ? what is the history of chainsaws and these races ? Or were they just keeping the ebikes in check ... Purely as a means to make noise in a very obnoxious way

Or were they just keeping the ebikes in check ... Not sure what the history is in mtbking, i think its a carry over from motocross.They do it a lot at the motocross races in europe It does add to the atmosphere, kind of like a mechanical "AC/DC Thunderstruck" .... but can be damn irritating when you are trying to listen to the commentry
Eddy Gordo Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Ha ha.. Not sure the wife would fancy a downhill focused family holiday!True, but you will have the days in between the event for family activities.
Stretch Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 True, but you will have the days in between the event for family activities.Very tempting!

Stretch Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 So at the Canadian Open Tracey Hannah answered the critics with regards to Vali Höll beating her times twice.. By beating her... But... By only 0.6 sec... And coming in in third by a mere 0.63 secs behind Tracey was one Myriam Nicole!
MrJacques Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 So at the Canadian Open Tracey Hannah answered the critics with regards to Vali Höll beating her times twice.. By beating her... But... By only 0.6 sec... And coming in in third by a mere 0.63 secs behind Tracey was one Myriam Nicole! I'm assuming Myriam will be back for World Champs. Gonna be a good race!
Headshot Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 I watched a bit of the replay of the CO race. Tracey will have to up her game to stay ahead of Vali in the Worlds. Troy was super fast - 5 wins in 5 years and on the proper wheel size.
