Not destroyed, but it ain't pretty that's for sure!
Trail builders in this region are not exactly known for their trail building prowess.
They are enthusiastic, but seem as if they don't even ride bikes themselves. My theory is that riders design, but councils build...
Les Gets is a fine example of this. An amazing network of trails everywhere, but every corner and every jump is just plain retarded.
I haven't ridden the Pleney yet this season, but the general talk is that they have just driven a bulldozer down the main line making for a track that can be ridden on a road bike. Not exactly, but I'm sure you get the drift...
There are, however, loads of new tracks in the region (Portes du Soleil) and Morzine is still slap-bang in the center of it.
I'll have a run soon if I can and let you all know.

no loss, was more likely to go out of my way to avoid it this year than ride it (think I did one run last year).
The, not quiet so official, trails all over the rest of the hill are where it's at! Kovariks one from last year being the current favourite (mostly for being around 4 times wider than all the rest!)

"Good afternoon Yossi,
Thank you for your enquiry to Riders Refuge.
I can assure you the Pleney has NOT been destroyed by a tractor, new trails have been put in including a new black with road gap and new green run, the main line is still the same as ever. New trails have been added in Les Gets and at the top of the super morzine cable car. See our blog here for more details http://www.ridersrefuge.co.uk/Morzine_MTB_Blog

it sounds good

I rode Le Pleney Last week its still there!, there's as much braking bumps on it as you would find in mid-season, basically no maintenance really. There's a few new trails most notably the one under the lift....Its in the open, I wouldn't be getting too excited about it...no trees, roots or rocks. Its steep at the start then .. its kinda boring.... My guess is that part of it will end up like the 10% (big holes and stuff) after a few weeks.
The secret unofficial tracks are where its at really.... they are really fun.

Great.
Morzine main track is always fun to ride.
Only three and a half weeks left before I'm heading to Morzine.

Really??? Did it once last year and don't intend to ride it at all this year - other than to get to other trails
2.5 weeks 'til i arrive in town - chalet 50 yards from the Pleney lift
We will be from July 1st to 16th in chalet Avoreaz, few hundred meters to the left from Pleney lift (while you stand facing it).
We get 80 and 100m2 apartments for 1150 and 1300eur per 2 weeks. We will be about 15 ppl from Poland.
I hope to meet some monkeys there, who would show us some hidden trails in Morzine

Can't remember what our place is called, but it's very, very close to the Plenty and the Cavern
We only have 2 too, one of them is actually my gf though and the other is over with her bf! We'll just need to hire in some dancing girls
Dont worry we will find them as long as frango doesnt use a mapIll be glad to show you the hidden trails
but you can find them by yourself.
just go slowly on the main line and look to the sides.
there are many entrances to the trails. (but some of them like the "ATM" are starting in other places)
Last year in ADH he mistook the end of an enduro trail with the begining and we hiked up Cant wait for it. It will probably make me ride like a pvssy for the next few days because I dont want to crash before the trip.
As for girls Polini will take care of that man so dont worry
