RIKSGRÄNSEN FREERIDE CAMP
3rd-10th of April, 2022
SEK 9,900
The ultimate freeride camp. Voted best freeride resort in Scandinavia, this spot is perfect to bring you a mix of freeride skill development as well as some amazing splitboarding. The long sunlight hours allow for longer days on the mountain, or more time in the sunshine at après.
This course will blend riding improvement on unparalleled freeride terrain above the arctic circle with the development of basic splitboarding skills.
Join me and a group of like minded people in an adventure that will give you the tools to explore mountains like you've never done before.
WHO IS IT FOR?
If you have the desire to improve your freeride skills in off-piste terrain, look no further! This course is also for the one who wants to become familiar with splitboarding, as a few course days will be reserved for this.
We recommend that you are at least at an advanced level of snowboarding so that the group can stick together at all times. If you would like to get yourself to that level, contact me to figure out what you can do to get there before the course starts.
We also recommend a moderate to high level of fitness. Splitboarding and bootpacking can be demanding at times. We will be walking uphill for periods of up to 2 hours at a time, potentially multiple times per day. It is also recommended to have splitboarded at least a few times before and have basic knowledge of the gear.
Contact me if you have any concerns or questions.
