How to Splitboard for Beginners - The Backcountry

The splitboard is (still) taking the mountain community by storm. Splitboarding is a relatively new form of shredding that's been an amazing addition to my life, but there's one think I don't like about it... This is a story about trying something new. It's okay to be a beginner. Actually, if you're able to forget about your ego - being a beginner is one of the most fun parts.

Alright here’s the deal (*spins chair around backwards and sits on it like a dad*)
I know the lens was dirty - it was frosty ice fog that wouldn’t melt off. I’m not mad I’m just disappointed.

Just gonna go out on a limb and say this is the greatest splitboarding video of all time. Nailed it with the gatekeeping. Its pretty bad in elitist mountain towns. Enjoy the mellow and who cares what others think. (ps. the Coldsmoke Alchemist is the greatest splitboard ever made)

i just love your mindset. thanks for being the inspirational person you are

[bartekmalinowy]

Awesome video man! I wanna try splitboarding soo much after watching this 😃 There is nothing like riding down a mountain in powder, feeling the freedom and weightlessness... A dream!

[Haleyfied]

Loved this whole thing but especially the last part. Screw the snobs, everyone has to start somewhere.

[HighlyRegardted]

Lol the sound of satisfaction when you finally hit the down slope was very relatable

[mileskay]

First video was one of my absolute favs ever, I loved this one just as much!

[rickysmalldicky]

thanks for putting out these videos man the quality is nuts

[diegoriveralopez-brea]

This is way to good. Totally agree with your message. Have fun and dont let their complexes get to you!

[snowvantures]

Love the honesty and the storytelling !

[TuckerPearce]

One of these days I need to do some true backcountry skiing. Great video!

[atlason]

Damn that last part got me psyched up for my upcoming first season!

[kendellharbin]

Excelllent video. That “dropping in” audio moment was especially enjoyable. Heads up - you spelled ‘avalanche’ ‘analanche’ …. Maybe intentional?

[andrewbwee]

Never forget that Travy's Xterra on Black Bear Pass :').
Also take me into the backcountry down there, and I'll take you up here.

[infinitetomato]

I wonder what an "Analanche" would look like... Beautiful video! :)

[alecsimp]

i was playing fortnite with travis and he told me i couldn't play with him cause i didn't even have the super ultra rare bingboda skin. thank you for fixing travis.

[xTypeTwoFunx]

Need more of these videos. Would be cool to see some setup talk too

[bernhardmatejka]

Don’t let the snops stop you 😂 yeah bro 🎉

[ChristianPaulPhotography]

The bro brah crowd totally sucks! It’s completely not what splitboarding is truly about. You three just out, getting after it, and enjoying the mountains. I splitboard for the same reason. I haven’t ridden a lift chair in 5 years. It’s phat in the Wasatch this year!

split skiing is the best idk what you are talking about.
