I guess Winterberg is out then, however you could get a massive number of runs in at that place.so long as its 3min+ and has a chairlift and I can get a decent number of runs in in a day I'm happy, I think...
What part of European do you not understandDiablo's good also and closer to big airports.

How east are you willing to go? www.shambhala-bikepark.com - Sopot, Bulgaria. The lift is running year round... http://images25.snimka.bg/005551494-big.jpgI quite fancy a short week-long DH holiday somewhere in Europe - anyone here know which lifts open when? Looking for somewhere in May.
come to the states and ride some east coast lift assisted places
Highland, Plattekill, Diablo, BromontWhat will be open on the east coast in May?
remember to check the homepage before you start your trip, we had snow the last days, dunno what the conditions are there now...Cheers for all the recommendations guys, maybe I'll do a week holiday each month?
Todtnau wins over SBDH for now because it's so much closer and I'll be driving. Since I'm only going for 4-5 days minimal time spent travelling is key.
I reckon I can leave a UK race at 5pm, kip for a couple of hours on the ferry, kip a couple more hours along the way, and be ready to ride in Todtnau by 9am the next day
bad wildbad is harder than todtnau, it has more rocks and roots, also it has the old dh track, todtnau has only the wildride, more a freeride track. wildbad has dh 1, dh2, 2 freeride tracks, a bikerx, a dual course and some north shore styled obstacles. i would ride all 3 three courses when you come a whole week...Yeah I saw bad wildbad was in the same vicinity, doesn't look nearly as good from the videos I've seen? I'll look Lac Blanc up too.
I only agree reading his posts is good and Seb writes just above your post that "I'm talking about squeezing a 5-day trip between two weekend races". Difficult as Pk and Diablo is not open on during the week in May.Read his posts, he said he'd consider the U.S. but only knew about Plattekill.
