Nice clip, guys :)
It's pity Pleney track looks sooo flat on the vid ;) especially when you know you do about 50kph in some places :)
I liked the shot of the Chatel roadgap from the lift :)
So many good memories from PdS and one very bad... stolen bike :(

how can you live in that area and not be WC fast...those trails are INCREDIBLE. Difficult, fast, smooth, rough all at the same time. Great footage!

So how many resorts are there in port du soleil that have bike parks? How many lifts do you have running for MTB trails? Those trails look retardedly fun and fast.

About 22 lifts and 7 areas.
They are. the best thing about them is that you can bring both your xc rig and dh rig. having that many lifts in operation means you can "valley hop" on the xc bike where most of you climbing is done on a chair lift... I did that a few years ago... it's such an awesome place....

Heh heh.

And to answer the question, there are 27 chairlifts covering 12 resorts all using the same liftpass. There are countless DH tracks.

I'm glad you had a good time here. Anyone coming, feel free to contact me before you come and we can hook up for some riding.

Ya that sounds pretty orgasmic. I think I'd rather do that than whistler someday.

One hour drive from Geneva airport makes it a fairly accessable area. A full season liftpass will put you back just 120euro, so at a guess, a week pass will be around the 70euro mark.

Yeah, it's a pretty cool place to live. The lifts are closed now, the town gets a break before the winter season starts. Locals still do shuttles in this off season until snow forces a stop to the biking.
