For some reason this MTB article on ORF.at was titled “The Powder Snow of Summer” even though there was no mention of snow in the article itself. Either way, Christian Cummins writes about his quest to become a free rider or at least a singletrack master in the Kitzbühel Alps. Cummins took a one day class from the Bike Academy, an Austrian mountain bike school that teaches folks to ride some fairly gnarly singletrack trails.

The article has some good tips for riding plus some pretty fresh pics as well. My favorite line from the article: “At the top, we slurped down strengthening dumpling soup in a mountain hut.” Sounds delicious, perhaps Clif or Luna should create their own energy dumpling for mountain bikers
