POWPOW trip - Puy st. Vincent

We have received some news from trip of your friends www.powpow.cz , about their trip to France. It seems that they enjoyed their French time and powder very well. So check this small article. Peace4ride!!!


At the beginning of the January 2010 we had a chance to go to the magic country, full of fondue, wine, and fully covered to the powder. This country is waiting for riders who found a courage to ride those mountains, who are not writing but riding hard. So we visited France.

When you return to the center of resort should be approximately 20-minute walk / travel. For the vast avalacnhe field terrains, we went there only once.

There were nearly 2.5 meters of snow and it was snowing day after day, another ten to twenty centimeters, while the day was generally sunny, with temperatures slightly below zero. Ideal conditions for large droping and straight lines. Just a dream!

We were staying in the highest center apartments surrounding the outdoor, heated swimming pool-for most of us nightly refuge. Of course, we were not just in water, but also visited local bars and pubs. For locals normaly worth drinking wine, which is no more expensive than in Czech. But for staunch beer drinkers gets their wallet empty fast. The food we had bought own, and so only once not terribly overpriced bread, respectively baguettes.

So briefly just getting a trip to France ten points out of ten. And despite a very awkward way. Altogether, including a one-day trip to Les 2 Alpes, we spent 52 hours on the bus, drove through several snow storms, distorted his back and buttocks oversit ... Gallery HERE
