Summer 2014 Season Review
It's been an awesome season. Our busiest ever and the most fun we've had. Less snow in the mountains last winter meant we had a great start in June in scorching temperatures. July saw some interesting and extremely unseasonal weather - but at least we're now all awesome at riding wet roots! Normal service was resumed in August and the end-of-season Backcountry weeks in September were glorious. I think my last run of the season, a monster backcountry descent with Pat and a great crew of riders, might also have been my best! Loads of new trails ridden as we cast our net ever wider and we finished off with an epic guides-only trip on the Tour de Mont Blanc. Massive thanks to Matt, Crona, Pat & Alex - I think it's testament to having a great team that we've finished the summer s till loving every day on our bikes and desperate to keep riding.
Thanks also to everyone who helped kit-out our guides this summer - NukeProof bikes, Dragon sunglasses and goggles, POC clothing, gloves, helmets and pads, Hope brakes & wheels, Michelin tyres, Airwave pumps and tubes, Joe's tubeless kits and X-Tools. |

Summer 2015
Our dates & prices for next summer are available online here. We have been taking advance bookings at an incredible rate and we are already close to selling out for July & August. Book now before the last spots disappear! We are delighted to be able to confirm that the dream guiding team of Stevo, Iona, Pat & Alex will be back in place once again next summer and we'll also be in the same awesome chalet again. We have a whole new riding trip planned for next summer - just for fun, we're running a Summits Week, where the plan is to have some big mountain adventures, with the goal each day of reaching a high-mount ain summit and riding back down. We really enjoyed our end-of-season Tour de Mont Blanc trip and we'd like to run at least one multi-day adventure trip too. We like purist multi-day trips, getting up high and staying in mountain refuges. Get in touch if you'd like to register your interest!
We've loved every minute of it this summer and we're looking forward to doing it all again next year. For now, the trails are rapidly disappearing under the snow and we're waxing down our snowboards. Bring on the winter! |
