Can you give your spot away if you can't make it?
just opened today
Yep, all booked on.
DONE IT! need a bike, full face, pads hhhhhmmmmmmmm
Did it last year. Loved it. Year off this year then back again with a big group next year.
Well that's the plan anyway 🙂
I'm in 🙂
I've got the gold to just need to sort out accom can't wait.
We will be running some Megga training days up here in Wales later in the year if anyone is interested. Focus is riding skills but also just as vital the beta on what to do there in terms of getting sorted out for it and training runs as most info is not out until the Thu Fri before the race.
Will be great for people on their first trip of those who want to get up the ranking a bit!
Have fun, whatever you do!

Bob - linky no worky!
I fancy it, but not sure if I will be able to ride it. My descending skillz have come on leaps & bounds this year.
How gnar is it?
easier than the lakes!!
Hmm, you sure about that? What about the Peaks?
How quick do places tend to go?
Me, Gold Megavalanche pack. I can't sort accomodation out until I find out who I am going with. It could just be me but hopefully my Dad will come along for support.
It's my first one. Any advice?
Quick Q; Is the Avalanche Cup Oz en Oisans just the entry only, or is the minimum entry Bronze for the Mega?
there is 3 races during the week, is all self explanatory surely?
all info here

scroll down, it tells you whats included
if you just want to do the mega cheapest option is bronze and gives you lift access from the thursday to sunday
Thought that was the case, wasn't sure if the Oz was a separate race or not
Avalanche Cup in Oz is a DH race which is fun but does take out about 1 1/2 days, I am entered as it's only a little extra but might either skip practice or 2nd race run. It's worth being there for the week and riding round and doing some practice but don't strees about it too much, also if you can stick it out till the monday there is less stress about race/finish/bus back to top of hill/pack/run to airport!!
Also worth a day up in Deux Alp

word,
i raced sunday and had to be in Calais by midnight the same day
Also worth a day up in Deux Alp
also worth taking your snowboard 🙂
or your road bike if you want to ride up to alpe d'huez
I'm in! Cannae wait!
with this sort of entry level I think the folks in STW towers need to do another Mega feature!!
STW forum dwellers on a mountain. Could be a good feature.
^^^ 🙄
That was sarcasm
sure
Im in too, bronze for me as im driving to Morzine after for another crazy week of it 😀 😀 😀
high5 dans160 🙂
Anybody looking for numbers to make up accommodation let me know I'm on my own
@ Campbell Coaching did my own bit of mega training in wales last thursday, snow all the way from the half way house up snowdon to the summit which was very iced up crampons would of been better than walking boots an a hardtail,-29 deg wind chill, i no its cold at the top of pic blanc race day but snowdon was extreme. see you all there team yeti yorkshire pudding 😛
I see there's a live (ish) entry list. Filling up nicely with 900 or so just now, usual high % of Brits.
Hey Jedi! Dad cannot make it now. So on my tod, may have to rethink and do it next year as the costs are mounting up, I'll need to hire transport now as well.
