Turboute Jul 16, at Sam Hill has become the dark horse in this competition. Woot, wait to go Hill!!! Maybe we can start seeing all these lycra wearing strava nuts wearing flats and 5. Or maybe he would of won if he was clipped in? FranzMuhr Jul 16, at What will bring for Sam Hill? More EWS? Less DH. That approach worked well for Rude. WAKIdesigns Jul 16, at I can feel the disruptions of the force, James Wilson must be already writing a blog post about it Flat pedal renaissance! Also Page sam's team manager getting the same results in his category! WayneParsons FL Jul 16, at Sam I say this with respect, but I think a slight career change may be in order. I reckon he should move to enduro. Why not? He's obviously great at it and maybe he'd be less injury plagued. Viva la Hill. Good seeing Curtis Keene do well also, he seems a nice chap. Alu frame that's not a size too big Alu wheels with narrow profile Last year's wheel size anyway Flat pedals No way you'd podium with that set up Love it! Ryanrobinson Jul 16, at Below Threshold show comment. You muppet. RedBurn Jul 16, at Looks like he slowly begins to be outdated in downhill Ryanrobinson : it would appear it is you sir who are the muppet. In the bin you go. Lots of people have poked the stick at him for not clipping in for dh and now hes killin em on flats in Enduro! Awsome to see. I would of liked to see he win. But not sure he could of pulled back even if he did not crash. FranzMuhr : I mentioned that in another post and got neg propped to death by the PB troll sackriders. Root for Keene!! Nice to see him back on the first page of results again! We need live coverage! This should be on Redbull TV, with commentary and timing within some key stages to see where the different riders excel. I don't understand, considering the quality of riders competing, how Rude can be so dominant. He just seems able to ride so many types of terrain faster. Makes sense for redbull with the terrain open and plenty of scope for cam angles, and a chance to grab racers around the chairlifts. Have someone proper cover the EWS live. I actually do not think live streaming the EWS is the right thing to do. Lets say if they wanted to live stream every stage that would mean less venues could host because some of the stages are WAY in the backcountry, and stages could not be high in the alpine due to connection issues. WRC doesn't have live streaming. They have live timing and recaps. Just like EWS. Waaaay too much area to cover. They have only a few cameras on DH for Fox sake. ColquhounerHooner Jul 16, at I actually really like the highlight packages that Richard Cunynghame produces and presents, now on Pinkbike firstly on Dirt and don't mind waiting the day or two he takes to edit and put them up FREE! And, thankfully, put out on a decent player and the videos are downloadable so I can watch them at my leisure in internet backward Australia I got sht for free, but it sucks so I demand change, preferably from a tiny, organic company that doesn't earn any money on streaming. Redbull sucks , they are one single company that invested more in gravity disciplines of MTB than any other, they sponsor and support more athletes than any other company, and their drink tastes crap and kills adolescents. Oooooh if MTB was so pure with 26' wheels, flat pedals, riding on pot and drinking until you vomit your bollocks out. Win or looze, we're on ze boooze. ColquhounerHooner : Boooooring! It would be enough to cover even places on each stage. I think the problem is not the area, but the fact that stages are long and unlike in DH, you cannot follow one rider from start to finish. So you end up with kind of a mess, probably hard to follow and confusing. WAKIdesigns Jul 17, at And then it was too hot as if they couldn't turn the AC up, food was crap, earphones didn't work, and then we waited 30 min for the luggage! It took you 5 hours door to door from NY to LA, and years ago it took all your life and you'd probably get killed by a fkng bear before you got there. PB coverage is more than enough! But if its possible, a live timing would be nice. WAKIdesigns : Agree. PauRexs FL Jul 17, at Live coverage would work out the best for event type like megavalanche. Sam Hiiiiiill!!! Yeah man! I don't have a dog in this fight but the whole 'flat pedals win medals' thing is a larf. Wins by a 14 guys on clipless and it's crickets, guy on flats gets on the podium and out come the 'flat pedals win medals!!! It really does not matter, those guys are not humans anyway. But the fact is the there is a clipless myth and lots of people are going clipless because they think this is a better, proper and pro way. But the truth is that it is not, at least for the majority. At least flat pedal riders have some validation of their choice - I can include myself too. How many of the EWS racers are running flats anyways? The 'wins by a 14 guys on clipless' would have some meaning if it would be but it's not bad if the only flat rider is on the podium How the hell did Rude win stage 3 by so much???? AdamOdh Jul 16, at Looks like Rude its super consistent all the way down in these super long stages, just not like Sam who is training for downhill racing Mugen FL Jul 16, at There is a video here which shows him overtaking Oton 3rd today in a climb, absolutely mental! Mugen : thanks for the link, Rude overtaking while pedalling uphill is impressive. DylanDaSilva Jul 16, at Mugen : Jaw dropped. He is insane. Speeder01 Jul 16, at Mugen : agree, thank you for the link to that vid. Think RR has horsepower? He's roosting All out sprinting to get ahead before going down again, on a section of climbing track where the pain is palpable. There is massive time to be made on those sections of track and RR has the fitness and drive to take advantage of them. Very impressive and a great glimpse of the rounded package needed to win an EWS event. What stage was this? Speeder01 : it was super impressive and I have no clue how that stage looked like but When you add the same effort on flat your speed will go up 4Mph, on a descend it can be 10 Mph. That means some serious time cutting as opposed to spitting your guts out on the very climb and cutting 2 or 3 secs, just to have nothing left for the crucial moment of descend. Given the fact that life forms have finite power and need to regenerate, we must strategize our efforts. Therefore a calculated thing to do is to sprint before the climb, go down in intensity on the very climb, and save energy to explode after the crest. Nobody can go max through the whole race. Optimum not maximum. You guys should watch XC. There's loads of overtaking on climbs. WAKIdesigns : completely wrong approach to racing. Mugen : for anyone wanting to see rude overtake.. It's not till the very end of the video. In XC and often in Enduro you rest on downhills. It's basics of space time. Since your max power output can last for limited amount of time and it can lower your power output until you regenerate, you must focus on acceleration, on keeping that speed up. And I'm not an author of this strategy. I can drop names if I must. Chewbiker Jul 16, at WAKIdesigns : your second comment is just making my point for me?! So, so wrong. It's not about speed, it's about time - and you can win more time on slow sections than fast sections. You do not spend your max effort on the flat unless you're completely brain dead. You spend it on the climb. And you can LOL all you want. Maxing into and out of climbs is faster than maxing on a climb. That is what I said. And I am not teaching Richie how to ride, I explained a general rule. Go LOL your girlfriend with your wrong. WAKIdesigns : No, maxing into and out of climbs is not faster. Sprinting into a climb and then easing off is one of the single stupidest things I have ever heard in my adult life. For the same increase in physical effort you will shave more time from a steep section than a flat section, fact. Please do drop some names so I can find out which top level riders are dumbasses! Martin Maes, Gene Hamilton. You can toss your stupidities how much you want, it doesn't work on me WAKIdesigns : Then you should explain several things to Maes - first, air resistance and rolling resistance increase with the square of speed. So to go twice as fast on the flat is four times as hard. Working purely against gravity going twice as fast is only twice as hard. So the steeper the climb the bigger the difference you make to your average speed for a given increase in power. Second, maxing your heart rate and filling your body with lactic acid just before a hard climb is no-one's idea of a good time, and is a recipe for blowing up before you summit and losing huge chunks of time. Third, I didn't say anything about your family. They may or may not be prostitutes, I have no way of knowing. I said that your statement was stupid, because it is. Now stop trolling for once! You're actually both kind of right and both missing some key points. That is how you get those 1 sec gaps. Sorry Waki, but trying to do that on the flat is a bad idea. On the flat your leg power advantage is can be negated by possible leg speed and gearing choice by the other guy. You may get an advantage, but it will be smaller point of proof - no one ever wins the tour in the flats - it is won in the mountains and hills, always has been. They don't accelerate and then slow, they tap it out, attack on the steeps, tap it out again, attack But they also do use end of climb spurts to lead into dh sections But they are group starting so this is for a whole different reason. B - I can't believe none of you picked up the real reason this kind of attack works I can still remember doing a selection course twenty odd years ago in the army and lugging a pack up a hill for km after km and then the DS goes trotting past you like you are standing still That shit hurts. Same here. Always has been. You're not, but the mental game is not giving in. My guess is Rude saw the chance to hurt someone and took it probably busting a gut to do it. Funny thing is Sam used to do this in DH at his peak. He'd ride behind competitors in training and obviously break and shit behind them to let them know they were slowing him down WAKIdesigns Jul 19, at I am speaking of 20sec to 1 minute climbs, with no team dynamics, virtually no opponent interaction, completely different time spans. This is just straight ridiculous. Wind resistance? If you pedal hard into a climb, then you carry momentum into it, it's speed and energy almost for free, then when you accelerate over the crest you get to max pedallable speed quickly and that period of high speed that is time in distance, gets short until the time comes to hit the brakes which stops the whole operation. The average speed goes up. Saving for a climb and resting after it is bollocks. Especially that once you get to some good speed in Enduro, gravity maintains it for you hence your wind resistance argument goes down the drain - All that happens above BPM going all the way to max pulse, so in reality that power modulation is little, on a race you pedal the sht out of the track and those sprints are super precious or you die after 3 stages I can't believe I even need to explain this. You can't just pluck nonsense numbers out of thin air and pretend they validate your argument. They're bollocks, everyone knows they're bollocks and you know they're bollocks. So why are you still here trolling the board? I love how everyone suddenly became fucking experts at racing like none of you have won a EWS so shut up honestly. I'm not one of these downhill bike haters like protour, but looks like Sam Hill its not comfortable on his downhill bike. Every Dh bike become longer and longer Every shorter bike like his mega enduro bike or his old pulse brings him medals. I think you are definitely onto something here. Bring back that big chunky Pulse from ! Orrr the level of competition in world cup dh is so high that he can come to a watered down dh race and podium when he isn't getting results in world cup dh. Almost 2 minutes up on Joe Smith. Troy is a one of the 5 best DH riders in the world on current form. Joe is also beating Sam easily in the DH at the moment. There is something not working for Hill on the DH scene. Reach wise the Mega is a lot longer than the same size Pulse frame. Didn't he have an AC separation early in the season? I had a level 3 AC separation and my shoulder didn't feel strong until almost a year. A rough DH track could really beat the hell out of you at full speed. However, I have a shorter top tube on my trail bike than my last one and I find that it suits me better. There are different body types and there is not one perfect geo for everyone. I'm happy for him to get this good result over some world class competition. Bike Jul 16, at Everyone stoked for Sam Hill! He has been off the pace in the World Cup after being injured again! People saying after that he's past it then in he crushes everybody on the rough steep tracks Mont Sainte Anne and Meribel. Now some think he should switch to enduro, etc. But whatever happens man, he is an effing legend. Lets see if the young guns like Bruni, Hart, Brosnan and others can live up to their potential. Adrianos Jul 16, at Rude simply in another level. Footey72 FL Jul 16, at GotNuts Jul 16, at Zito Jul 16, at Dustfarter Jul 16, at Killer to see Curtis Keene up there with a good result. Chilla8 Jul 16, at Rude, you're a beast! Hill, f'ing stoked for you. You belong on the podium. CamDoug Jul 16, at Wow, Richie Rude is freaking killing it. Given how young he is, if he can keep his head straight, that should make for one hell of a bright future. And Sam Hill - man, that's impressive. People always slag on 'washed up' downhillers having a second wind in enduro; I think what's going on with that is that enduro places a big premium on huge experience, because you spend so much longer in full-on downhill race mode - in the DH World Cup, it's more of a burst of such intensity, it's hard for anyone a bit older to atttain, but in enduro, the intensity level has to be a wee bit lower and then be sustained for a good long time. Cheers to both of them and what looks like a really strong field. Enduro has to value experience and risk management over risk taking and power output. Rude is a monster, who seems to have learned from his elders and manages his risk better now. What's impressive is seeing that the best juniors would already be between 2nd and 5th place in senior ranking. Really promising! Brilliant from Robin Wallner , highest finish of 7th , getting the better and better. Go Sverige! AaGro Jul 16, at Another rough first stage for Graves? Top 10 men separated by a minute and a half. Some good racing here Also, 2nd through 11th separated by 40 seconds, then Rude, 50 seconds ahead of all of them! Rude is just demolishing the field Just noticed Thought this track would suit him more than Graves. AH FL Jul 16, at Top 10 for Jesse Melamed is huge! Awesome stuff. Sycip69er Jul 16, at OMG Richie Rude is crushing. Keystone was a damn good warm up apparently. Guarana2th Jul 16, at Richie is brutaly fast this season. U21 times!!! Stoked for Keene making the top ten! I'm a fan no matter what his results!! Damn Richie beat the shit out of everyone! TwoWheelPhrenzy Jul 16, at Is it just me or does this statement sound kinda weird? Almost a minute on a total of less than half an hour!? Man Rude is fast! Stoked for the American Dream, Keene! Good to see him back where he belongs to, legend! Treehouse15 Jul 16, at How about nigel page sticking in there for the masters Silverthorne Jul 17, at Sam in 2nd but Rude won by more than 1 and a half minutes. He is on a different level. Dhmiket FL Jul 16, at Well looks like I'm not winning the Troy lee designs gear. KEENE so rad to see him doing good! Boldfish Jul 16, at Poor Callaghan. Stage results 3rd, st, 7th. He'd be in third if it wasn't for the flat front tyre on Stage 2. But then if I'd have been born with an innie instead of an outie, I'd be a woman. Swings and roundabouts I suppose. I hope she keeps on entering wc and enduro races. She's totally killing it part time. Sam Hill must be one fit dude who can sure as shit ride a bike, good on yer Sam. I want to see ALL enduro riders on the next wc dh stop. Yeah im also wondering why he's not in the top 10 final results. I dunno if i needglasses but i cant find his name anywhere in those results. Anyone know what happened to him in italy? Just saw his name. Seems something happened to him in stage 4. Hope pb lets us know whats up with graves , maes etc. Roverdoc Jul 16, at Curtis Keene in the top 10! Rude looking like the male version of T-Mo! SeaJay Jul 16, at Sam I fucking love you mate. Bring the trail bike out for a WC workout! Adrianos Jul 17, at Injuried at Megavalanche www. Adrianos : ouch! Thanks I think Any idea of the extent of his injuries? I can't find anything on Google about this crash. I'm sorry but everyone going on about how well Sam and other riders did are wrong. There's no other way around it. I guess you'd be right if it was the sport he trained CNS competed for. Rhbailor Jul 17, at Post a Comment Login or Sign Up. All rights reserved. Mobile Version of Website.

Owners Eddy, Debbie and their wonderful family are all serious alpine skiers and passionate about mountains. They have lived in the Alps for over 35 years and recently renovated the Chalet Alpina into extremely comfortable self catering apartments and hotel bedrooms. Thier knowledge of the surrounding ski areas and mountains makes Chalet Alpina the ideal choice for skiers as they can help organise every detail of your holiday at the best possible price. There is no doubt climate change is effecting ski resorts and every skier hunts for a high altitude ski resort hoping that it will guarantee skiing. High altitude resorts generally charge premium prices but altitude is not the only factor that one should consider when choosing a reliable ski resort. Having north facing slopes are just as critical for a ski resort. In the snowy, pre talked about global warming days, many resorts in the northern hemisphere were built facing south into the sun as that meant you could stay alive while skiing and not end up with frost bite. Nowadays cold north facing slopes are where the snow stays best. Probably the most important factor is geographical position in relation to the topography of the mountains. Resorts that are built only on one side of a high main mountain chain may only get snow if it comes from a certain direction - north, south east etc. A resort that extends to both sides of the main mountain range means that it will always get snow from whatever direction it comes from. Resorts built on both sides of a mountain range also means that the surrounding mountain range is not too high to restrict the weather from passing over to both sides of the resort. Nearby surrounding glaciers also play an important part as they wick away the moisture in the atmosphere. Humidity in the atmosphere melts snow very quickly when the temperatures warm up. Low humidity also keeps the snow in better condition as it gets less icy and lasts longer. An open valley, rather than a valley that is closed in with high surrounding mountains, also has a drier atmosphere. Wind plays an important role as well. Windy resorts tend to have a drier and colder climate as well and wind tends to shift the snow into bowls creating unbelievable depths of snow sometimes. Look for resorts with wide open bowls especially on the leeward side of the predominant wind direction. The other fallacy that skiers tend to believe is that it snows more the higher up the mountain you go. Unless temperatures are well above zero in the village it actually snows less per square meter on a steeper slope than a more gentle slope and the volume of snow is less the colder the temperatures are when snow is falling. It snows less on a steeper slope because the same square meter of snow falling out of the sky covers a larger area on the ground the steeper the slope gets, so more gentle slopes have far more snow coverage than steep slopes This all means that you can find resorts that are reliable for snow but that are not generally high in altitude and of course with high prices to match. Last but certainly not least is lift capacity to bed capacity. A resort with a high lift capacity and a low bed capacity means there will be less skiers on the slopes making it far more pleasant and much safer to ski. We can think of no better way for you to enjoy it too by inviting you to join us when and share our passions ' Eddy Nico. Situated on a major alpine divide between France and Italy it manages to get snow coming from any direction. Surrounded by some large glaciers it has a dry, cold climate and the pistes are mainly north facing. There is almost always a breeze blowing. Admitadly making the ride up the chair lifts a little chilly but the result is the advantage of dry fluffy snow. Snow reports over the past 50 years have shown that it has far better snow right down to meters than most other resorts in the Alps. Prices are half the price of other resorts. There is no doubt about it Italy offers the best value for skiing in the Alps. There is no doubt about it though the French pistes are more challenging but La Thuile fortunately is one of those hidden gems that offers you the value and quality of Italy plus the challenge of French skiing. Why choose La Thuile.
