The Lyngen Alps, located way up north in Norway; and one of the best places on this planet for splitboarders. So naturally we had to take a trip there! We have constantly heard a lot about this place.. And the many wide open faces and steep narrow couloirs it has to offer.

There is no such a thing as a off-season. We were really busy organising and planing some unique and exciting camps for you, along with our original camps from last season. Find below all the new dates and camps and a short description of what to expect.

The last Blog was left on a bit of a cliff hanger, to go to Lebanon or not? 'An amazing once in a lifetime opportunity or a stupid idea?' We ignored the latter, instead going on "an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity!". So we travelled to Lebanon to go splitboarding, to get to know and explore the culture and of course to experience something new to us! Ready for every scenario, we even brought our ice axes, crampons & below zero sleeping bags. Because... Well you just never know! I was...

Whilst my Thunderbuddy was playing around in the mountains of Lebanon, which i'm not jealous of, i had a quite nice middle of March experience myself. First riding and filming in Arlberg with some friends I had not seen for a long time. Followed by a stunning splitboard tour with my old time riding buddy Pauli. But to tell the whole story we have to go back in time. It all started off with a look at the snow-forecast, making a phone call, followed by a quick decision that i'm going to Arlberg....

In the last 2 days the Beginner Splitboard Camp took place at Jochberg and Bichlalm. Despite the mixed snow conditions and spring like temperatures we started the day very exited at 9 o'clock in the morning. After taking the Gondola up to the top, the first run was some nice and easy turns on the slope, to get used to riding the splitboard- material. Our destination was the Zweitausender lift.

Splitboarding in Lebanon...Not the first place that springs to mind when you're planning your next trip. We received an email from the Skiing Society of 'Mzaar' Ski Resort, which is the biggest ski resort in Lebanon. Inviting us to go along, participate and set up a boarder X together with the Atomic Freeski Team. First two things that came into my mind on receiving this exciting and intriguing invitation: will there be powder we can ride? And a general concern: Will it be safe, as Syria is...

Beginning of this week was our advanced camp that took place in 'Kelchsau'. We began the hike up to the 'Bamberger Hütte' (which was our base for the next 3 days) feeling a little uncertain as to whether we would find any powder after having such warm temperatures and no snow fall for a while.

The weekend just passed was the weekend of the 'Hahnenkamm Race' in Kitzbühel, where they spend over 1 week preparing the racecourse. Which means that there is absolutely no one riding powder! The week before it had snowed over 80cm and the peak holiday season had ended, and meant that the following days/weeks had great potential. Sunshine was forecasted for the whole week, the only downer being that there was a high avalanche level (3 out of 5).

Mid week and the last day of sunshine before the next big dump of snow arrives, so of course we had to go on a tour somewhere, we decided to hike up the Watzmann 3. Kind (3rd Child). The Watzmann is a mysterious mountain that I can see every day when I brush my teeth in the mornings, and because I am usually away from home at this time of year I have only ever hiked up the Watzmann in the summer, and always dreamed of touring up in the winter so this was the perfect opportunity to finally do it!

Finally it started to snow! After a decade of dry weather (or at least it felt like it), of course every powder addict was excited and with our powder rider instincts no one could hold back and we were all desperate to get those fresh first lines! Unfortunately this was very short lived.. with zero snowfall beforehand this was just a base coat or more so a dusting of the white stuff, hardly enough to go riding in the "pow". But finally after the little pre dusting of snow and a looooong wait...
