We found the Stash (Burtons new eco friendly jib run)

Burton snowboards has chosen Avoriaz as the place to build its first Stash run in Europe. The nature of the stash is to create a run taking elements of park riding and combining natural terrain and features that has so many lines everyone one will have their own favorite. It's a great honor for Avoriaz to be chosen, but as they have been at the forefront of freestyle riding and provision of parks in Europe since the beginning, it may not be any surprise.
As there has been a lot of hype about what will be created we went up to have a look after a little insider tip off as to where it will be. Can't wait for the snow to fall so we can all get our jib on.

Mountain Mavericks goes racing

After a very successful weekend watching a day of races at the track in Dijon, we are very happy to be able to announce that we signed a succesful deal to sponsor the B&B formula two racing team. The team of Tim Barrington and Paul Bason place regularly in the top 10 of the formula two historic championships. Dont let the historic title fool you these cars are no slouches, driving a 1971 Lola T 240 and '71 March 712 respectively Tim and Paul compete in 12 races all over Europe during the season. Taking in a number of the better known formula one circuits. We are very much looking forward to seeing them add the Mounatin Mavericks logo to their livery and charting their progress through next season.



Chambertin gets a new hat

After spending last season with a very unglamarous green plastic sheet on the roof, we now have a sparkling new tile roof to replace our inherited felt one. You cant under estimate the simple pleasures of not having to worry everytime it rains.
As well as a new roof we have added a deck and barbeque as well refurbishing the kitchen and a couple of the rooms.
Slowly making Chambertin the Chalet we would like it to be.
