Morzine
13 days
CANNOT WAIT!
Chamonix June 24-29 with my bro
Morzine August bank holiday weekend with a bunch of lawyers (lifts close on 31 Aug though...hope they run up to 31 Aug [i]inclusive[/i] otherwise it's one day in Chatel and then two on the Pleney
Then possibly gearing up to a Les Arcs trip in September but I bet that by the time I've rallied the crew for it all the spots in the chalet will be taken in which case I'll be soloing
My favourite thing about Les Arcs is taking the black run from the bottom of the Avalanche down to Bourg, getting a McDonalds, eating it on the funicular back up, and then just repeating...all day...ride - burger - lift ride - 9 mcnuggets - lift - ride - mcflurry - lift - ride - muffin - lift
2nd week of september
the Pyrenees indefinitely
get in 😀
BikeVerbier, yippee
(with or without 2.5" tyres, chain device)
Leaving two weeks on Friday for a week in Morzine then off to the West Coast for a relax. Cannie Wait
week friday, 8 days in saalbach 😀 Doing the scott downhill challange 1000 riders down 8.5 km course, sweet
Les Arcs, first week in August and also first proper Alpine riding. I'll be riding on my own after a couple of days, not too fussed though. Really looking forward to it, i just hope the weather stays kind for my wife who will mostly be lounging around by the pool.
Off to Morzine the last two weeks of July. 7 of us including the missus. Just found out a mate is going down at the same time with another 12 people so should be good times. Cannot wait!
10th July for a week, Saint Foy

As someone who is skint and not going to the Alps, can i just say i hate you all.
Morzine from the 26th, Alp d'huez a week after.
Currently trying to make sure I dont forget anything.
Andorra, les Angles, La Molina pretty much all of August
Not the Alps but chairlifts, mountains and probably better weather
