I am bored at home on the couch with the flu while my friends and family are out skiing and snowboarding so I thought I would share some pics from some of my favorite spots. Christophe Margot took the photos and you can see more of his stuff at www.photomargot.com
These shots are from Loschentaal, Switzerland where you ride up in a tram and then it takes 2 hours to get down some buffed singletrack.
These next photos are from a place called Malcesine, Italy on Lake Garda.
You take a tram to the top and then have lake views all the way down. These trails take easily 2 to 3 hours to get down depending on if you are pinned or fully pinned. The Italian military made these "mule grade" trails and they are perfect for no braking most of the time.
I am very lucky to live in a place with so much lift accessed terrain and have a friend that is a great photographer. If you guys have time, check out his site. There are a lot of cool summer and winter pics. Oh yeah, and ride the alps if you ever get the chance. There are way too many great spots!
