FIRST DAY RIDING AND WE ARE STILL ALIVE

After having a pretty chilled night we headed into town this morning to check it all out, see about banks to change cash, get shopping and see about a lift pass, turns out the shops and banks are shut, it sunday doh! only one thing left to do lift pass, we managed to stumble through getting a lift pass for all of us for 63€ after some confusion as to weather we were something to do with the organization of the maxi, should have been 70€ every little helps eh, not bad for a weeks riding, pretty funny watching us try and communicate!

Time To Ride

Enough of this drivel, we got our shit together, hit the park, its insane! first thing we did was hit the wood park, i was laughing my head off by the time i got to the bottom, always a good sign! we ended up doing carolinne chauson's track, rote 66 (epic, loads of jumps but so so long), carbonera, the wood park (top and bottom) its sick Check the pic, i had to steal it online because we didnt take any cameras up but this is what we were riding today,


the mood in the gondala as we went up the mountain was pretty funny, a mixture of exitement and general pant filling, the thing goes so high, all of us knew the only way down was on our trusty steeds, it was a good day and a lot of worries were put to bed, i had visions of unridable massive road gaps and 4mm wide north shore 50ft off the ground and to be fair it is all there but we didnt have to ride it today,  we got back to camp safe and sound
more cheese now.

quick service of the bikes when we got back, a very welcome shower, and now we're sat having a jar and doing web stuff.

ONE IMPORTANT THING TO SAY (sorry not trip related)
