Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Godknows how to paste a short hyperlink
Or even a you tube address - sorry

Anyway


I have done this run top to bottom on skis just a minute or two slower that these guys so know the route well, and my god some of these bits are quite steep to say the least

Anyway, seriously my favourite YouTube clip

Wonder if I should take my road bike to St Anton next week ?

laundryman,

You can do the Sarenne in Alpe d'Huez normally in about the last week of the season, sometimes it is only snow at the very beginning on the glacier but last year I believe it was snow pretty well all the way, 3330m to 1450m. This year it is on the 13th April.

Not done the actual event but I have ridden the first part of the route, on snow. You can try all kinds of "technique" but generally you end up sliding on your backside when it's steep. The first part is the same route as the Megavalanche race in the summer.

skitow, thanks, I've only done pistes without snow on a bike. Don't think I'd be up to competing!

In the 1990s I used to bring my mountain bike to Alpe d'Huez for the week because the snow was often crap, here's a short article and map from 1992, incidentally the very first article on PisteHors.com

We used to make winter ice tires using self tapping screws.

Do they do bikercross? A downhill bmx track on snow sounds great fun (although probably too wimpy thesedays to give it a go Embarassed )

I've just noticed that Les Gets are doing this on the 23/1 - http://en.lesgets.com/slalom-of-mountain-bike-on-snow-1766.html. Thought it may be of interest for people around that end of the PdS.

Looks like I'm going to have to find space for MrI's cycling gear in the car now as well!

Jesus, he's motoring at one point - really quick.

My big bruv does all this.... I reckon he's mad but he think I'm madder for doing the same runs on a snowboard. The fact he keeps coming back with tales of broken bones and mangled bodies qualifies my opinion. Either that or I'm just an awesome snowboarder Wink Laughing
