New DH trails in Portes du Soleil

This autumn Ben Walker and his team based in Champery were busy working on the Crosets DH track. They’ve put in lots of improvements ready for next summer.

Plenty of photos on Dirt.

Check out the pictures and then dream of riding it. Champery’s just a hop skip and a jump (or a few lifts and a few quick descents) from Morzine, part of the Portes du Soleil on the same mountain bike lift pass as Morzine and Les Gets.
