The distant mecca that is Morzine and the Portes du Soleil area has always been up there on the ‘list of places I need to go ride my bike’, but has somehow been repeatedly put off with responsibilities lying elsewhere. That was until this year at least, when myself, and good friend/photographer Elliott had the opportunity to get out in the mountains to cover Crankworx Les Gets, press launches, and even squeeze in a few days of riding. All this, followed by the Pass’Portes du Soleil to wrap up the trip, accompanied by our hosts from More Mountain, we were set for a packed fortnight.
