It's most definitely better in Europe.

We're staying in Bourg Saint Maurice. All the of the riding (and pics) are from Les Arcs. Mostly lift served stuff that's outside of the official bike park. Most of it's on trailforks. Lots of steep, rocky, rooty goodness. And plenty of opportunities to dial in your switchback game. We're going to venture into some non-lift served, more pedally stuff over the next couple of days.

Insane views are everywhere. 5000+ foot descents are abundant, with easy access to the top. This place is friggin awesome.

Spending the rest of the week here, then heading over to meribel for a few days to see what kind of trails they have over there.

Solid. This is now officially on my to-ride bucket list.

Let me be the first to say, that looks to be worthy of a full TR in its own thread, with many more pics. Looks killer!

My favorite ride in the area that some days…just makes me it’s bitch on the climb. One of those days, but what a pedal!

Got out of the bike park for a more pedally ride. Shuttle bump up to plan de la sassiere, then ride back down to Bourg. A rolling traverse for a while, and then a big descent at the end. Insane views for most of it.

Decided to forego the 5000' hike a bike to the top of the peak in the background. Sounds like it's an awesome trail though. Runs along the ridgeline next to a glacier that's on the other side. Next time...









Stopped at a little farm that's perched up on the mountain side. Got some reaaaally good cheese for lunch.





Didn't get many descending pics because I was having too much fun. Steep and rocky.

^^^^Dope

Agreed that looks incredible

Thanks for the continuing pics. I'm super jealous of your cheese. It's awesome that there are just random farms around selling their homemade cheese to whomever comes along...

From last week when one of the crew of our Anti-Golf Corporate Group (MooseMoto) went down.

Loving the Euro riding pics. Separate thread please, so we can consult it for next year.

In other news, we're taking a long week to see a Red Rocks show (Government Mule- Dark Side of the Mule [emoji95][emoji445], with Jason Bonham Led Zep tribute opener), and riding there and back. Below are Steamboat/ Buff Pass, Dillon CT with moose, more CT Copper to Searle Pass. Minturn Mountain Meadow to Whiskey was also a favorite, but no pics.

Euro pics ftw!

This is on our new trail. One of the many granite rollers and spines.

[Supermoon]

Anyone know who this guy is? Saw him sessioning these benches and chatted with him for a sec but never asked his name. Was fun to watch for sure. He had a solo filming rig set up that he was running.

Rides for YT, Redbull and Oakley it looks like. Not American of from the UK.

Those are a couple great rides!

Last minute long weekend run to Gunni.
Been a few years since we've ridden Hartman. Love that system.

Found some incredible camping (Us in the camper on the right). We had V-Drop right out our back door. Played around on it and The Notch after setting up on Friday:


Awesome playground 50' away from us. More lines than time allowed:




Did the Rock-n-Roll Advanced Route on Saturday
Mrs Roxtar on Top of the World


Sunday headed up to CB. Wife had never done this classic. Time to remedy that.






Obligatory 401 wildflower pic. Terrible shot angle doesn't begin to show the beauty. My wife literally gasped audibly when we turned the corner into this. It was a field of solid purple.
