Have a great time mate!

Danny.B. · 07-25-2012, 03:28 PM

nutter! have a good one!

DavS1 · 07-25-2012, 03:31 PM

Awesome idea for a stag! You's taking your own bikes or hiring?

Enjoy, and get the pics up once back!

NotNormal · 07-25-2012, 03:47 PM

Sounds awesome, wish I was going with you !!

Are you using your own bike ??

Whattya ya got ??

doughboy · 07-25-2012, 04:00 PM

We're renting the bikes, wreck someone elses! £100 for 3 days, insured, on 2012 nukeproof freeride bikes which are decent bikes.

A few of the guys have gone for full on downhill rigs, which were a bit more, but I want to get down in one piece.

Been there several times skiing, it'll be weird going on the lifts in shorts with a bike hanging off the lift!

Still a bit of snow up top though. 14 of us going, whats the odds on a visit to A&E?

DavS1 · 07-25-2012, 05:32 PM

well jel!

Dannyrado · 07-26-2012, 01:35 AM

Oh my god that sounds amazing!! Can i come??

I have to admit i'd have got a downhill machine too, what are the prices like?? £100 for 3 days sounds really good. I'd have some of that.

Have an amazing time, and take it easy.

You can't beat Morzine..well some people like Whistler but difficult to drive there!

doughboy · 08-01-2012, 02:23 AM

What a brilliant time!

Still hungover, and aching / bruised all over.

The stag is a bit handy with a MAC and has put a 5 min video together of our headcam footage, turn it up and have a look (amazing what some editing and music can do!):

The video clip at 50secs gives you an idea of the epic size of the place!!

Can't recommend it highly enough - better than skiing / boarding by a country mile (and i've been skiing since 1984). Cheaper too and the weather is awesome!

A few pics I took from the lift below:

Dannyrado · 08-02-2012, 02:05 AM
