Would you like to give splitboarding a try? Then join me on this great 7-day trip in the Maurienne Valley, in the beautiful French Alps, and experience splitboarding at its best.
I will help you learn new techniques and improve your skills. Most important, I will help you become a confident snowboarder and splitboarder tourer.
During these days, we will discover a new place every day. I want you to see as much as possible of the 7 different neighbouring resorts.
You already enjoy snowboarding so you know what splitboarding is about: one board that gives you the freedom of touring. And you don't need to use snowshoes for that!
As any ski tourer, on our way up you will have 2 skis, with a free heel and climbing skins. Once at the top, you will put the skis back together, and enjoy the ride with your snowboard. It's easy to use! Most important, it makes touring possible for everyone.
We will enjoy long day tours and also really short ones. And I guarantee we will be far away from the lifts!
My main goal is that you learn the following:
Route finding and walking technique on the way up for split boarding
Getting used to the splitborading gear and learning to manage it
Group safety and avalanche awareness
How to find the best snow
Improving your snowboard technique
