ABOUT THE TRIP

This is a camp run by experienced mountain professionals with a love of sharing their passions with you. It is a rare and golden opportunity to delve into the world of splitboarding and touring, meet like minded riders and progress your snowboarding in an encouraging and nurturing environment. You can read reviews from past clients here.

 

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!
