He's got PMs turned off. He can send them but his preferences are set to not allow anyone to initiate them.

Hmmm, I wonder how I turn that off?

Edit- thanks @6thElement.

Also, one of the diggers in my crew, Gaetan puts up photos of the progress and prep on our trails very regularly.

Morgins and Champery open on the weekends starting the 25th. Shits running so good right now.

Dorenaz, Bex and Aigle are our close lift accessed riding spots for this time of the year, but I prolly already said that.

Killer idea to water the berm!
I have dug out shady spots and thrown the snow on the trail, but that is a step above.

It was actually the most slippery shit I've ever ridden in my life, so much gravel it was unreal. fun as hell though. And the dip in the Mediterranean after was a luxury I have yet to experience.

First time w/ a full face on the beach. Some pics of my gal in Finale on the trail and some old Roman roads towards the bottom.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

Finale?

Yep - Those photos were on the last stage of the EWS from a few years back.

Looks like DH men (uomini) to me. Have you done Rollercoaster or Inginere yet?
Little Champery is great too, although nothing like the real Champery of course

You sir have a good eye. Honestly we got short on time in Finale, so we basically rented bikes in town, rode up to that zone where Uomini is and then rode down that trail. I have ridden quite a few places in my days but nothing rode quite like that, really unique w/ all that gravel, beautiful though. I would def go back to Finale w/ more time to do some exploring. Funny we talked about doing Roller or Champery on a second lap but just didn't have the time.

Hey gang, bumping this thread with some more local-ish knowledge requests....

I'm in Pieve Di Soligo, province of Treviso, and wondering if there's any good lift accessed riding still open. Most bike parks seem to close around September. I'd need to hire a bike and gear, not too worried about having less than stellar gear.

The closer to me the better, but not averse to travelling around out of Italy.

Probably would prefer DH to enduro if possible.

I fly back out of Venice Oct 22.

Cheers for any input!

Paganella is still partially open during this week and fully open on the weekends. More Enduro than DH as far as I know and not really close by: https://www.dolomitipaganellabike.com/en/news/bike-zone-closing

Maribor is still open from Thursdays to Sundays - even further away, but with some proper DH.

Thanks @Sandro !

Has anyone been to Fassa? Also northern Italy, looks fun for a day or 2.

 

[norbar]

A friend was here. It's on the way from central Italy to Maribor if im not mixing stuff up. Not sure if it fits your needs but he liked it:

Also check out other things labeled as "wyjazdy" on the 43ride page. Some decent ride reports from not so obvious places

 

[sethimus]

Fassa is awesome.
The zone has a lot of steep tech riding and also a few bikeparky trails. People are really enthusiastic in that area, so there are also a lot of non official trails out there. You can get about 45km of trail and 3.500m of descending in one day easily.
We're trying to ride the EWS (orwhatever that sh!t is called nowadays) after the race each year which is a blast.
Other then that you can do the sellaronda, which is from a panoramic point of view definitely a highlight. Fassa is a part of it. Unfortunately a lot of trails on the 'ronda are tamed down nowadays, so if we want to ride technical stuff, we go directly to Fassa.
The lifts in that region are open from June until September, so the season is relatively short.
Therefore they are trying to get a few MTB trails up and running which can be shuttled year around.
