As I (Max) recently moved to Grenoble and a good friend gave me a nice hint we went to Meribel last weekend to check out the MTB Worldcup finals. I have to say that seeing the DH finals was really impressive. Haha, I feel like I can´t ride at all compared to these guys. Anyways, check out the pics below! I´ve also filmed the whole course from around 40 perspectives, so I´ll try to cut that together within the next days.
From top to bottom in 40 perspectives:

| Warm up |
 |
| Start |
 |
| Tough girl |
 |
| The road gap |
 |
| Riding with style |
 |
| Great views on Meribel |
 |
| Max filming some action |
 |

 |
| So close to the riders |
 |
| Big rock |
 |
| Last curve |
 |
| Final jump |
 |
| The stadium |
After that I went to Le Grande Bornand for some hiking and to jump on the bike myself. Got some pretty impressive views of the Mont Blanc!
 |
| Capricorns can climb like crazy |
 |
| Checked out Annecy on a down day. Definitely coming back when the sun shines! |
 |
| Clouds floating over the ridge |
 |
| The Mont Blanc |
 |
| Again the Mont Blanc. Looks massive! |
 |
| You don´t want to slip here! |
 |
| Found some snow at around 2000m |
 |
| There were tons of sheeps. Oh and btw, they are pretty good climbers... |
Furthermore we spent one day in Les2Alpes for some summerskiing. Pretty awesome weather and fun, but no impressive skiing after several months without skiing... just the usual 360´s and a bit of work on the rail-"game" :D
