High Tatras weekend splitboarding course

If you are an experienced rider and you would like to expand or refresh your splitboarding and backcountry skills, this course is for you!

The High Tatras are a group of mountains laying along the border of northern Slovakia and southern Poland. They stand within the Tatras Mountains, the highest sub-range in the Carpathians. The High Tatras include 29 peaks over 2,500 meters, most of them located in the Slovak side, within the Tatra National Park (738km2).

While this is a 2-day training, it begins with a pre-course briefing on Friday afternoon, during which we will review the basics of off-piste splitboarding, avalanche management, and backcountry equipment.

On Saturday and Sunday, the course will be held on field, in the High Tatras mountains. The first day, I will explain some technical concepts, such as stability test in snow, the use of an avalanche transceiver, how to safely control descents, and how to stop a fall on a steep slope, among others. During the second day, we will put these skills into practice, riding across the High Tatras’ best skiing areas, with amazing views to magnificent peaks, pine forests, glacial lakes, and vast alpine valleys. At the end of the training, participants will receive a certificate.

I will take a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 6 on this course. If necessary, I will be happy to tailor the program to guests’ time availability and preferences.
