Words cannot describe how much it sucked! Shit weather, bad visibility, slippy as fuck and pretty boring trails (except the descent into torgon). Never again :ras: The freeraid classic is much better.

Aye, the weather crapped out on Sunday. It was averaging 30c on the Passporte on Saturday, the lift at Champoussin wasn't working for about an hour so to make sure we got back in time we did the optional uphill its not far but in that heat and that high was a very strange feeling, the best site all day was the nice lass  who was handing out nice cold beers to all the people queuing for food at the stop in Chatel. The free backpack this year was a bonus better than the crappy shoulder bag they were handing out last year.

I spent most of my time on the Canyon run, it doesn't get affected by braking bumps as its knarly as it is.
