Above is a picture on morzine from our home of 2 months, a chalet owned by a lovely english fellow whos letting us rent out a room for our stay. Its awesome, it takes up to 19 people but there are currently only 3 of us. Greg(lovely english fellow) also collects dvds and game consoles so when were not riding we have a world of options right infront of the tv.*below a picture of pete giving the XBOX a rather grand workout 
2 Races Down
We have had 2 races since being here, a French Cup and an IXS German Cup.The French Cup was our first race on the second weekend of our stay. It was a mear 20minute drive up the road which made it a good ease into the whole race thing but still be able to go home to a bed and kitchen at night.
This race was held at Montriond which was still covered in snow and had the track cut into the snow making all the dirt mud and the rocks slippery. Peter and i hated this race with a passion and never intend to race another of the sort again. I some how managed 3rd in the elite womens field but im not sure as to Peters result.
On the 15th june Pete and i ventured out into the wilderness battling our way through and over the concrete highways to arrive in Germany 9 hours later at our second race destination. This was an IXS Cup and i was really looking forward to a proper race track after the previous weeks let down. The track turned out to be really fun but rather short, it took about an hour to complete a full run as you had to stand in line for the super duper slow chair lift. There was about 400 or so people in attendance which i feel also helped. Both Pete and i really enjoyed the track and i also manage my fair share of soil sampling(crashes). Our enjoyment for the track showed as i tookout the Elite womans and pete got a respectable 33rd in a large field of men and his second DH race.
