Myself and Jamesy boy raced the Maxi Avalanche in Vallnord Bike Park, Andorra on the "opening weekend" of the bike park earlier this summer and decided we would stay and ride the following week before heading across to the alps for the mountain of hell a few weeks later. Little did we know the opening weekend was literally just the weekend and mainly for the race.
With hearts set on Chairlift + gondola laps we headed to the Alps to Samoens, which was DEFINITELY open according to their website.
The weather was incredible but the gondola was shut!!! Luckily it turned out to be temporary and we got stuck in at last!
Finally we made it to the Mountain of Hell for an exciting week racing!
