Coming this Spring in collaboration with Mayhew Snowboarding...
Join myself and Corinne Mayhew of Mayhew Snowboarding for an epic 4 day backcountry adventure!
If you're an experienced snowboarder looking to dive deeper into the backcountry and discover the world of splitboarding, this long-weekend adventure is for you! Over the 4 days, you'll develop your understanding and appreciation of riding in the backcountry and improve all areas of your snowboarding while taking care of body and mind with daily yoga sessions, all in a supportive, fun and encouraging environment.
This camp is aimed at all snowboarders who feel comfortable riding red and black runs and have at least some experience riding in powdery conditions. You'll learn how to use splitboard equipment, and gain invaluable experience of earning your turns in the backcountry!
If you've always wanted to try splitboarding but you've never known where to start, then this is the perfect opportunity to become acquainted with the equipment and understand how to use it. We will also help you to develop your general off piste knowledge and riding skills, considering which kind of terrain you should use for splitboarding and the safety factors involved. If you're comfortable riding red and black runs, and have some experience riding off-piste and want to dive deeper, this trip is for you!
The yoga element of this camp is extremely important in nurturing your mind and body both before and after a long, active day in the mountains. Hannah's twice-daily sessions will warm up your muscles and focus your mind in preparation for a great day of splitboarding, while her evening sessions help you to relax and stretch, aiding in recovery before doing it all again the next day! It's important to give attention to the mind when progressing in any sport, especially when you feel that you're pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Hannah's innate understanding of the backcountry environment and how some riders can feel anxious really helps her to calm your mind and help you focus on enjoying the moment and slashing those turns!
