Location

Jasper National Park

We would like to invite you to join us at the second annual Ascend Split-board Festival. Again, we are operating out of the Canadian Rocky Mountains of Jasper National Park. The event will run from the evening of Friday March 13th, to Sunday March 15th, 2015. All back-country experiences will happen within national park boundries and all off-snow activities will take place in the Town of Jasper.

Our goal is to celebrate local, regional, and worldwide backcountry split-boarding and the people who share the passion. Our community is geared toward back-country safety, education and increased awareness of the sport. Any and all split-boarders are welcome to participate. Whether you are a seasoned mountain goat or fresh to the backcountry, we provide you with a safe, fun + educational experience set in our beautiful backyard… Jasper National Park.
