I go at Bromont instead... sometimes the world cup is there too. Great mountain, very technical tracks.
And its only 1 hour of driving from montreal.. :)
Nice. I'd love to have a World cup track to smash out on a weekend!
We don't really have much high stuff in England. I've been up to Fort William quite a few times (which is really tough) and down to the Alpine tracks, but they're more one-off holidays. Our regular tracks are usually just vehicle uplifts, not chairlifts.
As for tyres, yeah, you can't go wrong with Maxxiss, but get the right ones as there are loads of versions. Most of their tyres all have three different compound options, and two different sidewall options, so it can be a bit difficult to know what to get!
