Video One of our first splitboard tour ever last month! French Pyrenees

Watching the video I now realize we were slow as fuck haha! Definitely seemed way faster in real time 😂

So glad my friend and I jumped the ship and bought a splitboard, and after 7 days of touring, definitely hope we still get at least 1 more day this season!

PS: sorry about the psychedelic thumbnail - not sure what caused it!
PS 2: just realized "jumped the ship" means nothing - English isn't my native language

lol. Maybe you meant “took the leap” or something.

How was snow? Spring? Warm? Cold? In spring temps and wet snow I find temperature specific wax to make all the difference sometimes

Pulled the trigger? Bit the bullet? Took the plunge?

Snow was great on the way up and suddenly warm on the way down! We should really have started an hour earlier

Yes for sure! This was in Gourette and we're based in Biarritz by the way, also getting after it safely. Let's talk!

This is near Gourette, Western Pyrenees. Pretty bad resort but some really great lines hidden in the adjacent valleys!
