Well, biking season has been over for a while here. It's been two weeks since I went on a real ride. Since then snow has accumulated over a foot outside my front door. Our mountains have been getting snowed on every day for the last week, over 50" of powder for me to play in this weekend. . .

These are pictures I took this summer while I was guiding in Chamonix France for 10Fifty mountain bike holidays. Chamonix is an amazing place, the backdrops are that much more surreal in person. If you want to do some of the best and most difficult technical riding you have ever done in an incredible set of mountains go to Chamonix. I promise you won't be dissapointed. Just make sure you get a good guide

Wow, that looks like some amazing riding. It looks spectacular even in the photos. if it is even better in person that must be incredible. That motivates me to start making a list of places to go biking around the world, once i have more time and money.

Great stuff.Do the lifts run in the summer and carry bikes if they do?
If not , that must be some pretty steep climbing to get up there.SImply amazing place....Please show use more....

Just amazing... How do you keep your eyes on the trail?

G'damb, that is amazing stuff.

 

[trailbrain]

Very Nice!

Absolutely Amazing shots! I would say those pretty much sum up passion. I especially like the one with the Glacier in the background.

 

[dirtdrop]

Great photos. I'm sure I'd have wobbly legs with that kind of exposure!

 

[Earthpig]

Ummm, wow. I mean it. Wow. Perhaps the best mountain biking photos I've ever seen on this board. If you guide again next year, please stuff me (and my bike) in your suitcase so I can go too.

Wow!

 

[mtnbkrid]

Thank You!

For the great photo's! They will help me get through the winter. If you have any more please post em. Thanks again.

Wow!

I don't think I'll be doing it again. I need to get a summer job that pays well to support my broke student ass.

I hadn't really seen any Cham posts since early summer (tho I haven't lurked regularly lately) and was waiting for this one. You did not disappoint (although I suspect you have many more photos).

Killer shots, thanks.

Did I hear someone say "MTBR gathering, 06"?

Ummm, wow. I mean it. Wow. Perhaps the best mountain biking photos I've ever seen on this board. If you guide again next year, please stuff me (and my bike) in your suitcase so I can go too.

Wow!

Yeah, how is one supposed to compete with something like that?

 

[Rainman]

Your photos of the Chamonix region are the best pics I have seen on these boards ever. !

The best pics of '05, imo.

You are so very fortunate to have experienced it first-hand.

Thank you for giving us the pleasure of viewing them too...

G'damb, that is amazing stuff.

Fake!

So obvious it's all photoshopped...

I'm jealous!

 

[gumby2]

It would kill me..

I would so run off the trail because I was gawking at the crazy views!
Definately some of the best pics I have seen posted.
Thank's for sharing.

killer place! i rode there 3 years ago for one day, should of done ALOT more. we took the gondola up for like 5000 feet, pure singletrack descent. there is supposed to be some real technical trails also as we are more into freeriding now, but still love long flowy descents.
the map showed alot.

Hey, are you working at the Yellowstone Club again this winter?
I remember some great pics from last winter. Nice Chamonix pics, I enjoyed them. Post more if you could please

 

[Uzzi]

Again some inspiring pictures... Is that second picture the trail above the Mer de Glace that you told us about?

We did a nice descent two weeks ago above Vallorcine, see pics. Made sure to stay on the South facing slopes but still pretty cold. Now the snow has come and so most trails are not ride able anymore...next weekend we'll go the Zermatt and kick of the winter season. Guess we'll be going to Chamonix a couple of times this winter...there're some BC tours on our list...
