There might be less than a month to go of this winter season, but there is still plenty to do in Morzine.
The beautiful vistas and the lively, friendly town keep Parkour Generations coming back year after year.
The second Shreddie Feature Jam took place on Wednesday 6th February in snowy conditions. Riders took to three modules in the Burton Stash in Avoriaz in a jam session format. All the tricks were filmed by Stew Monk from Reelfun Media and the video is now live.
We've technically only got one month to go until the lifts close and interseason descends on the Portes du Soleil. However before it does, we have an amazing month of fun and events ahead.
So far we've seen not only some fantastic racing, stunning scenery and nail-biting sprints from the 2016 Tour de France, but we've witnessed several unusual crashes, the yellow jersey literally running up Mont Ventoux and more than one incident of an over-enthusiastic fan causing disruption.
Les Gets had the first of their early opening weekends this past weekend, allowing riders to get a closer look at the slopestyle course for Crankworx.
For the 8th year running, the madness and chaos of the Cavern 24-7 Film Festival descended on Morzine in March. Pirates, reprobates and fire-breathing snowboarders were spotted flying down the slopes in Avoriaz, swinging off bridges in Morzine Town Centre and causing a scene in a bar near you.
There's lots going on in the week ahead!
There are plenty of great live bands, places to eat, events to watch and things to do in Morzine & Les Gets this week.
The Urban Roof n’ Slopestyle is a new concept in freestyle mountain biking. A competition inspired by freestyle snowboarding events that take place in Avoriaz in the winter, it takes dirt and freeride mountain biking and mixes them with parcours to create a new style of street riding.
Spring is in the air as we enjoy longer sunnier days. Don't forget your sunscreen!
The winter season might be starting to wind down but this week in town promises to be a huge one!
Katie Summerhayes from Sheffield is back on snow for the first time since her ACL injury. She talks about the freeski scene to come out of Sheffield Ski Village and how Woodsy helped to push her when she started out on the European circuit.
As I got out of bed this morning to start the working week I began to regret our decision to head through to Les Gets early on Sunday and to make the most of the day by riding from start to finish with only a 45 minute break...
Now in it’s third year, The Rhythm Sessions promised to be even bigger and better than last year, and we can safely say they didn’t oversell it one bit.
You'll be able to find something for everyone to enjoy, from family friendly fun to wild apres ski parties, markets, live music and ski shows by one of the local ski schools.
Summer may be drawing slowly to a close but there's still plenty going on in Avoriaz, Morzine & Les Gets before the lifts shut.
