It's a snowboard thingy that is made to split in half and act like a pair of powder cross-country skis, which makes trudging through the "deep pow" a heck of a lot easier.
This event will be a tour of the Pacific Northwest's backcountry. Those nutty adventures folks will share stories and maybe even learn a few things about the passion they call Splitboarding.
The history of Snowboarding can trace it roots back to the Mt Baker backcountry, an area noted for its early snowfalls, deep winter snowpack, and late season riding. So what would be a better place to hold this inaugural event than the Mt Baker area?
Date: March 27th and 28th.
Lodging and meals: Mt Bake Mountaineers Lodge, $70 for full weekend.
Events include a Splitboarding Techniques Class, a Basic Avalanche Awareness Class and a raffle to benefit the Friends of the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center.
