“I arrived in Saas Fee in time to get a good nights sleep last night but the rest of the German guys thought different.  Ethan and Basti arrived at 5am having been involved in hit and run with a bambi deer and woke us all up so getting up a 6.30 to ride this morning was kind of hard

But day one was king of mellow - just getting to know the rest of the guys from Europe.  There were riders from Italy, France, England, Germany and Austria and we went up to the huge glacier and checked out the park and rode everything.  Later we went for a swim and then a hot tub and then had our first meeting about what we are doing for the rest of the trip and to plan the week ahead.

All in all a fun first day..”
