Duane_Bosch Posted February 24, 2017 Share Just what I meant!Those vids are from our 2015 trip. There's over 600km of single track in the PDS with 22 ski lifts and 6 bikeparks in 2 countries. There's also some AMAZING road riding with the Joux Plane topping out between Les Gets & Morzine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted February 24, 2017 Share How much does a week in morizne cost? It looks better than whistler!It's much bigger than whistler. This has 22 ski lifts whistler has 3 as far as I know. It's more spread out. Covering 7 valleys. It's also cheaper. And it's the same timezone as us so no jetlag. I've never been to Whistler tho so I can't really say. You don't want to go for just one week. It takes a week just to visit all the bike parks and figure out where you want to ride. I recommend 10 days for a first timer. I organize trips. in 2015 we went. The cost was R29500. That was for Plane TicketsLift Passes12 nights accommodationBreakfast & dinner in the chaletAirport Shuttle to and from Morzine You can do it cheaper if you self cater. I WANNA GO BAAAAAAAACK!

Duane_Bosch Posted February 24, 2017 Share This better be running in 2019!Who needs beer and lunchBe to busy ridingDeff going back next year. And knowing myself come May when the videos of the new trails start popping up on the internet I'm probably going to find a way (excuse) to go back. Last year they added a new lift to the Zore side and there's rumors that in 2018 Samoens is going to be included in the PDS. 3 of us did 8824m in vertical descent in ONE day. That's the vertical equivalent of 73 Paarl runs. 120 something km.Runs in 6 bikeparks.MorzineZoreLindaretsCrosetsMorginsLes Gets We didn't do a run in Chatel.

Duane_Bosch Posted February 24, 2017 Share There's a trail there called Serpentine. It has 32 berms. Yes 32. And they are HUUUGE! The smallest ones are 1.5m and the highest ones are 3m. You surf through some of them. And you'll ride the trail once. Coz It's not rad enough. There's a trail in Les Gets that has 17 tables on it. 17!!! Aaaand you'll ride it maybe 3 times coz the jumps aren't 100% perfect. One or 2 are a bit short and 1 or 2 buck you a bit. You get picky pretty quickly in the Alps. nonky and Mongooser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to head to the Alps so bad! I'm in Belgium, so its even driving distance for me. What is a good suggestion for a park with a more natural tech flavour to it? I enjoy the big man made flow trails, but would rather be riding more rocky, rooty trails that also have more natural drops, ruts and jumps.
