quiet, beautiful, and amazing riding

Wed 3 October 2007 mrfloaty
I have been coming back to st foy time and time again and it has never disapointed, the atmophere is mellow and chilled with beautiful picture card perfect chalets and huts dotted around the mountain, the lift operatores very freindly and chatty offering advise when needed, if your a free rider then this gem will still have untracked lines many days after a good dump, the only down side the this place is it is very quiet night life is very limited and there is no dedicated freestyle park but plenty of scope to go build your own

love the place can highly recommend......
