Accessed from the Joux Plan road, a gentle first ski trip of the season.

40cm of snow at 1800m, no rocks hit.

Not bad!

Trail building volunteers wanted

This is big news for Morzine, the OT (Tourist Office) is asking for help building a new “easy” trail on Pleney. They have brought in a proffessional from Bike Solution to direct the work and they are looking for voluteers to help out on June 16/17th. Brilliant, I can’t wait. “Engaging the users” is something that has always been a hurdle for the OT in Morzine, lets hope it’s the start of a new dawn.

The invite follows

“Bonjour à tous,

Yohann Vachette, de Bike Solution, vient mardi et mercredi prochains (16 et 17 juin) pour commencer les travaux de la piste verte.

C’est Jardiflore qui fournit la pelle mécanique.

Si vous souhaitez apporter votre concours à cette réalisation, et aider Yohann dans le suivi des travaux (piquetage, élagage si nécessaire, petits travaux manuels, finitions…), vous êtes les bienvenus et Yohann accepte avec plaisir un peu d’aide.

Merci et à +

Bruno (OT Morzine)

If you want to help out contact Bruno or drop us a line at endlessride, we’ll push you in the right direction.

Les Gets lifts open

May 30th 2009, the uplifts have opened in Les Gets. I got out on my bike for my first local ride of the season. We started with a circuit of Mt Chery, the precipitous bit was sign posted as closed. It was passable but required a little bit of carrying. We got back to Les Gets, 2 coffees later heated up the Chavannes for one descent, back up and the XC back to Morzine. Bad news – the singletrack back to Morzine is now a 1om wide piste. Ho hum.

Les Gets (Chavannes and Mt Chery lift) will be opening a week early for mountain bikes on weekends only from May 30th until June 19th. And then from then on full time.

Goodness knows how, there is more than a normal amount of snow about at the moment!

Looks like the “main” lifts will be open June 26th until the August 30th. This came from the Chatel webpage.

Endlessride still has room at the in too.

The last weekend of lift opening in the Portes du Soleil, we did various circuits of Morzine and Les Gets with the lads from Bikeworks in Albuquerque.

There are a few photos on my flickr site.
