For those of you that don’t know the Mountain of Hell – then it is held the weekend after the Megavalanche in Alpe d’Huez just across the valley in Les Deux Alpes and like the Megavalanche it starts high up on the glacier and tumbles down 30 KM of downhill to Venosc.

BMX bandit in Melbourne
23/01/2009Lucien a member of our summer team is hanging out in Melbourne for the winter – and he has just sent us some pictures of his new BMX -
As Lucien says ” Don’t you just love it? Got it for $50, that’s £23! Ebay rules! Perfect for cruising the Melbourne streets, everything is completely seized and non of the bearings have any grease in them whatsoever, but hey, its got character! And it means I have a bike whilst dad still has to wait for his to be shipped across the ocean!“
Apparantly he has already mastered the very dangerous “kerb hop” . Is there no stopping this man ? Experience this and other awsome trail moves with us at the Megavalanche , Mountain of Hell or singletrack weeks

Photos of Megavalanche Start in the winter
19/01/2009Living in the area gives me a great opportunity to look at the Megavalanche slope all year round (when the lifts are open that is). Anyway this weekend I was up at the start on Pic Blanc with my snowboard tackling the black run down and over the glacier. It still amazes me that 1500 odd bikes race down the slope – heres looking forward to July !.
Just so you know we have megavalanche accommodation in Alpe d’Huez and Bourg d’Oisans this year – although our main house where we operate our mountain bike holidays is now full for the week.
