“This really takes it to another level,” says Chris Winter from the Big Mountain headquarters in Vancouver, B.C. “To be able to leave home with your helmet and shoes in a bag, hop the plane and be greeted in Geneva by your guides and a brand new 2006 Trek Remedy 66 is … over the top. The trails in Switzerland are like candy, riding them on a Remedy 66 is like a kid having free reign in a candy factory.”
The Trek Remedy 66, waiting to rip in Switzerland
Winter has been riding Treks in the Swiss Alps for several years now, often logging over a quarter of a million vertical feet of descending in a summer and tens of thousands of vertical feet of climbing. “On our all-mountain trips, many of our clients are on either freeride bikes or XC bikes, which definitely do the trick. But the new 6-inch all-mountain bikes that are coming out are absolutely perfect for our trips, especially our signature all-mountain trip, Cloudraker. I can’t wait to get over there and roll the trails on my Remedy!”
