Yeah, there’s really good “non bike parky” stuff within the park but it’s not that easy to join up, even with a guide it tends to be pretty inefficient- going up a lift and down a fireroad or crap trail to get to another lift and suchlike, and it’s not that esay to get the exact right combos or pick the right identical lookinf fireroads and streets. Actually doing it well is pretty hard if you want to get right across the hill so if I’m doing it myself I’ve always just thought smaller and gone for simplicity and less wasted time at the cost of a little less variety.
If a guide falls through, with one day I’d happily just bang out a few laps of black 8 etc and the stuff under cachette tbh, it doesn’t have that grey bikepark feel that the stuff up top does. Double Header etc are pretty easy to pick up from there too. Getting over to woodstock etc at the vallandry lift isn’t hard though I have to admit I can’t actually remember the smart way to do it now, is transarc shut? Getting back you can drop out of the park on dre dans d’pentu or similar and come in along the road.
