Just wanted to say a big thanks to Stevo at Whiteroom-
Just home from a family trip to Les Arcs and had a couple of issues, first with key transfer for our apartment and second with a mechanical on my last day of riding.
Stevo was an absolute gent and helped with looking after the key and then offered some kit to keep me riding.
I've only been on two trips with them before, but the welcome is like being part of the family. Its no surprise that they are so busy.
Cheers Stevo, hope the Bru is lasting well!
I think we need to stop saying nice things about them, it’s getting hard to find a space in the season. ?
Seriously I’ve always found them to be great, and so have my friends. Wonderful holidays.
Yep, great bunch of lads, went to all sorts of lengths to help out when I had a mechanical on day one
Yep, Steveo & Iona are great, as are the rest of the crew. Me and the wife have been 3 times and we'll definitely go again.
Yep, I'm just about to email iona to pencil in dates for next summer. They're ok I suppose.
Downfall was finding the microbrewery next to the expensive bike shop.
Excellent to hear. We are with them on the 4th of August. It's been 5years since I've been to Whiteroom.
Need to get organised enough to get a space. It was excellent last time we went
Went for the 1st time last year - ace! Met some great lads who we've had a weekend away riding with since. Booked again for 17th August this year with the same crew, cant wait!
Cost of flights painful this year though
Was out with them in late June, had a brilliant time. Guiding, hosting and fellow travellers were all ace.
Scales suggest that I may have over-indulged on the food and beer.
Booked next year as soon as we got back. We'll drive though - flying was utterly s#1t: expensive, slow, hassle-laden.
I did mull this over for this year but my buddies couldn’t stretch to five days off work. But it’s in my radar for 2025, when I’ll be 55!
I’m just a bit worried that it’s going to be out of my depth, and it’ll be potentially exhausting. I’m sure a day off mid week, or an early bail might be useful, but is it very very full on? I’ve done three days at Solden a few weeks ago and with it being bike parky, I was pretty spent*, but perhaps there would be a bit more intense than trails with white room….or am I way off the mark?
*Also fell off on the black enduro trail** the middle of the second day and hurt everything. Third day was uncomfortable.
**at walking speed, got knocked off trail by a rogue rock and found the ground where you would normally plant you feet down, wasn’t there.
