Yesterday we shot James McKnight and his boyos at possibly the most scenic set of trails in the world. Nestled in the Chamonix valley and in the shadows of the Mont Blanc glacier we spent 6 hours shooting these puppies in the sunshine.

Anyone know of any contenders?

    I helped run those trails when I used to live in Les Pelerins

    The hip line at the far end & the wall ride are highlights.

    you haven’t mentioned the helipad behind the trails – running through a ten pack with a chopper coming in to land a hundred foot above is an interesting experience!!

    I rode those trails while I worked as a guide there in 2003! Very interesting experience with a chopper whizzing over your head every fifteen minutes…

    Those are fantastic shots – we would love to get those up onto the staircase gallery in two or three months time!

    Yeah I forgot to mention the helipad, I’m pretty sure the mountain rescue guys were showing off a bit, coming in really really low over the trails…well at least it blew away alot of the stones. Fliipin cool place!
