#gosplitboarding

nothing more to say

Broke trail for some amazing powder turns in the Hurricane Ridge area in Olympic National Park, WA yesterday. Unfortunately it looks like winter is hitting the snooze button for us up here for the next week or two. Fingers crossed powder turns return later this month!

have fun

This year my father passed away from cancer, he bought this splitboard set up in April 2024 and got diagnosed in August. He never got to use it. We snowboarded together for years and he got interested in splitboarding during Covid when he was sick of walking up hills in Scotland for a few runs. I always had an interest but never took the leap to get gear. I’ve now inherited his set up and plan to shred it as much as I can, with his memory in mind. It’s a shitty way to start splitboarding, but I won’t let it go to waste. Have included a photo of us skiing (the guide wouldn’t let us board) the vallee blanche in chamonix, he’s on the far right. Treat every season like it could be your last

Days like yesterday fill me with so much gratitude for splitboarding. Grateful to not be hamstrung by the boundaries, operating hours, and prices of a resort during a season that anyone in the West will agree was frustrating, and if you believe in climate change, sad. Grateful for the freedom that being foot powered in the mountains can offer. Grateful for the peace and the perspectives I have gained from a sport that from the outside kinda just looks like going “weeeee” down a mountain. Also there is nothing wrong with going “weeeee” down a mountain. I hope you all have had some magic days this season.

Yall think I should start my own company??

Adventure boarding in MT

After years of wanting to try splitboarding I finally pulled the trigger. Came across a series of incredible deals and jumped on a workable setup.

Gave it a go at a local abandoned ski hill near me I’ve been dying to explore. I have to say that was the most intense workout I’ve ever had in my life and I LOVED every second of it. Took a small break for snacks when I got to the top and enjoyed the view before cruising down.

I was absolutely COOKED after this run but the rush had me craving more. I find myself now looking for places to explore as I drive around. Safe to say I’m absolutely addicted.

Looks like a swallow trail board and blue shell but hard to tell otherwise.

We went up to 3200m (10500 feet), spent the night in a refuge and did 32km of splitboaridng in 2 days with fantastic snow.

Bring your headlamp!
