Тэкс, я собрался опять в Сан Фуа! Две недели - с 28 июля по 11 августа. Едем с Firecam-ом, еще думает Frozen Fresh с dirt.ru... Присоединяйтесь, дикие трейлы в горах с гидами -  это качественный даунхилл-туризм

Детали по ссылке

давай!

нам уже, как проверенным бойцам отдельного гида дают (и скидку 100 фунтов)

будет поездка в пилу (не был, но слышал, что там мега крутая даунхилльная каталка)

Hi Leo (and Alex !),

Good to hear from you!

No problem to fit you both in for 2 weeks from 28th July – 30th August. As it’s a 2-week stay, you’ve both been to us a few times and you travel a very long way, I’ll give you a discounted rate of £930 per person for 2 weeks. Price includes:

    10 days of 100% fully-qualified guiding
    On-trail coaching & skills sessions
    Transfers from Geneva airport on Saturdays
    14 nights chalet accommodation
    Breakfast and 3 -course dinner on 12 nights of your stay
    Packed-lunch (we provide the bread and fillings, you make the sannies!)
    10 days of vehicle support
    Transfers from/to Bourg Saint Maurice train/bus station if required
    Unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks
    Afternoon tea & cake
    Bed-linen and towels
    Wireless internet access
    Extra 5% discount off web prices at The Bike Chain (total of 15% off shop prices)

The other guys staying for the week of 28th July are all in one group and have a pretty relaxed approach, so I think I’d give you guys your own guide for the first week. We’re likely to run a day-trip through to Pila (in Italy) during the week if you’d be interested (no extra cost). Pila is great. Very downhill-orientated, but some fantastic riding and all chairlift-accessed.

Let me know if you need any more info,

Cheers,

Stevo

Кажется, я там застану этап кубка мира в вальдизере

Hi All,

Winter is over again and we've finally put to bed one of the most incredible seasons in recent years. Extremes of every kind, with a completely dry November being followed by near-record snowfalls in December and January, then one of the longest and harshest cold spells we've ever experienced in February. March was mild and sunny, with some great Spring conditions before April brought winter back, finishing the season the way it started. Closing day at Sainte Foy was incredible, with over 40cm of cold, fresh snow giving one of our best day's riding in a long time. Stevo stretched the season out as far as it would go, still snowboarding well into May, but it's now hot and sunny, the bikes are out and we've been out riding and exploring new trails. Big thanks to Pop, Peter, Terry, Robyn & Terry for helping us make it another great winter. The photo on the right of our friend Niall just about sums up an epic season. We have loads of news for you, so I'll stop reminiscing about the powder and get on with it.

New website launch

A whole new version of wwwwhiteroomchalet.com went live just last night. It's been a lot of work, but we're really pleased with the new look. Thanks a lot to Steve Milne, Matt Parsons at Button Web-Design and many others for graphic design input, help, advice and beta-testing. 

Summer 2012

White Room News - new chalet, new vans and limited space left

First things first, summer 2012 season is now only 2 weeks away. We've been completely blown-away by the the demand for mountain-bike holidays this year, with many weeks sold-out as far back as January! This has meant that it's been really difficult for us to schedule-in some of our specialist weeks such as the Alpine First-timers' Coaching weeks, but you can be sure these will be back in the future. 

Big news is that we'll be moving to a new chalet this summer. It is just down the road from the old one and should be a big change for the better - more space, all en-suite rooms, sauna and better bike-storage.

We have a new chalet team this summer (James & Mel will be cooking and hosting), but we've stuck with our policy of only working with really experienced chefs and we're really looking forward to another summer of fantastic food. Main guides this summer will be Stevo and Yvan (who is currently warming up for the season with 3 weeks in Whistler and the North Shore!) and Iona will be combining guiding and driving.

We've just bought our own house in the valley and have a big renovation project to manage, so all weeks this summer will be limited to a maximum of 8 riders in order to keep our lives a little bit sensible. Combining that with the huge rush of early bookings means we have very little space left for this season, although a few late changes have opened up one or two more slots recently. Full details at wwwwhiteroomchalet.com/sumprices.htm but in summary there is space remaining for the weeks of 9th June (3), 23rd June (3), 21st July (3), 28th July (1), 11th August (2) and 18th August (3). All September backcountry weeks also still have a few spaces left. 

We have, as always, been out exploring new trails over the Spring and last autumn. Stevo has been finding lots of cliffs and whole oceans of nettles recently, but also some cracking new trails. We've been focussing our efforts slightly on trails a little further down the valley as the massive snowfall this winter means there is still a lot of snow around at altitude and we want to make sure we have plenty of options for the early-season weeks. 

Finally, our faithful and much-abused minibus lost an argument with a snow-plough over the winter. We've invested in a 9-seat Landrover Defender which should reduce the amount of climbing required on our backcountry weeks and also open-up some new trails which have previously been too remote to consider. We'll also be picking up a new minibus in time for the start of the season. 

MTB World Cup comes to the Tarentaise

For the weekend of 28th/29th July, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is coming to Val d'Isere. It will be a triple-header event featuring Downhill, Four-Cross and Cross-Country. A world-cup round is an amazing spectacle, we've been to see the Scottish round at Fort William in the past and can't wait to have it on our doorstep this summer. We'll be making plans for that weekend to give people the chance to go and see some of the racing, although if you'd rather just ride, we can totally understand that too! Mountain Biking in Val d'Isere has come from nowhere to hosting a World Cup round in the past couple of years, and we're hoping this is going to mean new investment in trails and facilities up there. This will be the final round of the DH season and is likely to see the top riders pushing it to the limit to decide the overall championship. 

Hire Bikes

For this summer, we're going to be offering our own hire bikes once again. Bikes this summer will be the awesome Orange Alpine 160. We have kept the rental price down to £149 per week which starts to look pretty similar to the cost of buying a bike bag, then flying your own steed back and forward. If you're not sure your bike is up to a week in the Alps, maybe you should just ride one of ours? Availability will be very limited, so contact us early if you do want to hire. 

So, lots of big changes ahead, but all good we hope and we're looking forward to another great summer season of mountain biking and another winter to come!

Cheers,

Stevo & Iona
