This was filmed up at WinterTux last season. This is only a small portion of the accessible terrain.

Google Map 199 Beaver Creek road, Ketchum, ID 83340 you will see the cabin in satellite view about one mile south of where it dropped the pin.

$350/8 = $43 per person.

How’d that splitboard race end up?

I use it all the time in the Idaho Backcountry, Simplex and Repeater. I’d recommend any backcountry explorer to get a HAM license and radio.

If you don’t Strava it, it didn’t happen… 😉
I’ve used the strava phone a bit in the BC, biggest issue for me is bat life on the phone. I like it for MTB because you can KOM you buddies – but that seems less applicable for touring. Great way to show off.
The goggle maps view is cool though http://app.strava.com/activities/38020463

were you riding one of the new Burton cambered sticks..can you comment?

Yeah, the Juice wagon, highly recommend it, I like camber for the responsiveness, it floats great and you can still blast lines switch. It does not feel like a fish, which is a good thing. The Fish shapes feel too much like a windshield wiper, this is a good balance of shape…[Read more]

How is that an advertisement? I’m not involved with SMG at all, I’m just recommending that you guys check them out and ride some lines in their backyard. Or don’t, stay in Bend, it will be better for all parties involved. Thanks for your input though Schralpinist.

Yeah, the Jesus Christ Couloir, it’s a worthy line. I highly recommend booking a trip with Sawtooth Mountain Guides and staying at the Williams Yurt. Just saw the new Kronical mag, they ran a shot of us hiking it.

^^ That’s a complement. I went and looked at all of my posts after your accusation and yes, I have have some that are related but quite a few that have nothing to do with MTN Approach. Nothing but stoke for all.

:guinness:

Now that’s funny. I guess you’re right, I apologize to the entire internet splitbaord community for our suggestive movie title. I didn’t think it would be taken so literal.

Did you mean antagonistic ?

Sorry if you didn’t like the video, I don’t see how it’s spam, it’s just footage of people snowboarding. Nowhere in this thread do I push a product other than our logo at the beginning of the video. I really don’t care what you ride.
:thumbsup:

Zude,
Yes, for overnights i have used my board as a sled for my tent, bag, food etc… I have retractable fins that i got from JG at Burton years ago. They were developed for riding pow but are supper sketchy as you can imagine. Anyway, they work great for keeping your board tracking straight when you’re towing it. Then when you’re ready to…[Read more]

Just sharing the backcountry stoke. I too get a chuckle out of it, only trying to show that there is another option out there.
Keep it off your back…like my buddy Neil Provo here: :pals:

Beaver Creek drainage just South of Stanley Idaho 4/19/12, about 4″ on corn. Bagged both coolers at the same time, pretty rad day. Getting cold again on Thursday, going back for more!

This is on the menu for Friday…

Damn Powslash, you’re killing it on those things!

But they are still much slower than splitting

… but they’re not. My wife is faster on the MTNA set up than i am on my split. Transitions are no contest, plus she can ride “her” snowboard. I put her on a split once and she almost divorced me. I use my wife for an example because she’s an average snowboarder (plus she doesn’t read this forum) The…[Read more]

Thanks for the banter, I’m well aware of the advantages / disadvantages of a split vs. a solid. If you don’t like the concept or products then don’t buy them, it’s a free market. Over 800 views to this thread though, thanks for the exposure.

I just saw this thread, didn’t realize the wheels were in motion. The Smith house at Smiley Creek sleeps 18, I think that would max out the amount of people we’d want up in the zone. April is the month, any input on which weekend? Can we call it a Backcountry snowboard fest? 😉
The prospecting Idaho zone is a 10 mile sled ride in, but for…[Read more]
