Intro to Splitboarding

Peak Recovery is excited to partner with Guided Exposure to offer a FREE 3-day Intro to Splitboarding (IS) course on beautiful Mt. Baker in Washington’s North Cascade mountain range. This course is open to anyone who identifies as being in mental health and/or substance use recovery. Our IS course is designed to introduce experienced snowboarders to splitboarding and backcountry riding. Participants will learn the fundamentals of skinning, kick turns, and efficient movement on uphill/downhill terrain. When conditions allow, downhill movement techniques are added and cross-country snowboard skills are introduced.

This program is suited for experienced snowboarders with:

• Intermediate or higher downhill riding abilities

• Proficiency riding 30+ degree terrain in a variety of snow conditions (equivalent to a blue run with moguls)
