The fact that the Alps are great terrain for alpine touring / splitobard knows about each of the tips not only on splitboarder.cz but I would like to add a tip for home splitobard Praděd hike downhill to freeride:

The first kick was about Travis on behalf of another drift The Art of Flight . Remote isolated mountain from different corners of the planet and freerideové paradise full of snow and fairly impressed with the idea of ​​freeride began drilling in the head. Heliboarding in the Carpathians still must wait a trace, and focuses on something interesting and less frequented in Bohemia. With a friend we agree provisionally ferkventovanou Mountains as little freeride-friendly site, well after their, the burrows and wait for good conditions. After a few weeks of miserable weather finally came to oversleep and proper frosts (those a little too (week -20)). Completely by chance that I see on TV and snowboard alpine touring can be very close to each other. Yeah so I want to try this widget. Split Splitboarder.cz renting from Adam, other snowshoes but only what the conditions are great so I gather it's got himself. This is the thing!

The direction we fetched up in Little Morávka / Charles which showed that the flat and up a steep hill in deep snow splitobard total trumps snowshoes, which in turn quite well to tread a slight hill on a hard surface.

By the evening managed to get over the ridge rozfoukaný Petrov where the Stones came to a number of overnight stays in burrows. A clear sky, everywhere 2 meter of snow dunes and perfect consistency. Just perfect conditions! 2,5 hours digging and luxurious Douro is done. Inside is slightly below zero and nicely moist but better than -20 and outside fičák. The night proved invaluable as Petka empty save a little before the frost. But before the great and Peter had rescued out. Morning perfect weather welcomed the fact. All lights and awful snow and hail blíská beautifully underfoot.

This is the exit! From the restaurant from Praděd leaves about 5 members and arranges group fošnařů the exit route. Intercept, I'm not the only one who attacked Congress over Sokol (rocky boots nicely visible from Praděd) down the pitchfork. The first part is the hard snow where the structures are too blunt edges splitboardu nechytají. The following forest zone in perfect powder. Backpack while riding but quite bothersome, and getting up and driving is hard work. Falcon must go on foot and had it rolling forest roads lead me where traces of the forerunners to gradually mature forest. Ride ends in a straight path, and before I reach for my next commute Vidly 3 rideři. Yesss it was a downhill! At first acquaintance, and testing it worked sqěle, splitobard proved even in Bohemia can enjoy a nice.

PS saw the bus, should go to get back to Morávka.

In Chamrousse, I found myself again as a delegate. Before our arrival occurred over a meter of snow, so while looking for a place to inject our long bus - on a slope slides down slowly, Finally I get excavator drivers, odhrne commons which equal. People are staying, everything runs smoothly, weather is beautiful, Yet the trip is a large percentage of malcontents bitching and eternal. With that, however, can not do anything, it remains to let you spoil the mood and enjoy the mountains.

On Tuesday it's time to go up the hill - it offers the Grand Van 2440 mnm Grand Sorbier. In the morning I'll have one client with inflammation of the eye to the doctor. Then be exported and cabin lifts at the highest point of the Centre, gather on the opposite side of the lakes, meet the onset of an elderly couple (according vrásčitých about face 70 let). I ask for their opinion on Sorbier - lady seems quite expertly, points, that moment will lavinózní, end of the week it could go. With a roguish smile says, that the above passage is a good downhill, board says I have to give back to the output…

For today is the Grand Van. The old combs nandavají already taking - the slope seems to me very slight, However, the experience is not so now I will also iron . The path is well stepped down,first results in a slight rise in the rocky pass. Without crampons like the fresh snow utemovaném definitely slipping, I like, that I. Soon I was in the saddle. Trail turns slightly here on the plateau, bypasses some large boiler, rises before me a white slope leading up to the ridge. For two hours I was up, rocky top here nezlézá. Sure I take the view, cool weather and examine the opposite vertex Grand Sorbier, where I could go next. Top game look very steeply, Snow is in catch-up on the ridge at the moment really enough. Eat bread with salami, Meanwhile, there probably will succeed 10 skialpinists.

The following exit. The snow is no crust, prašanový no enjoyment does not take place. The steeper the top of my back edge of crust podklouzne, so go down a large part of my ass. A little to swear in the spirit of its soft splitboard, which is not well suited to the harsh alpine conditions forever. An interesting finding of the tracks, that can sometimes be a better experience than the output of their own exit…

We go from Gretel - the loss of talented young sports academy. The pole is in the local snow parks preparing for a stellar career in freestyle snowboarding. A small cut pieces of the jumps and rails (not only the wards) You can see here.

Before us rises the snowy ridges and plains. We step on the road just a short walk to the beginning of forest roads. When we deploy the green belt will man. He asks where we're going, draws a map of a finger in the snow and explains how to avoid the park. We agree with him, scaring the animals in the fight against harsh winter, where every joule is a good, would be bare všivárna. Field and with it the entire Chines podcházíme after engaging way. After a while we climb through dense forest, and soon we are on the plains below the ridge.

On the ridge, we meet with the unit of soldiers in the winter bedspread. From a distance they look like potbelly, but up close you can see the full field + automatic rifle on his stomach for a total of approximately. 30 kg. Weather wishes them to us, so friendly greetings, professional nabušenci passes us with a smile and quickly disappeared around the bend. The group arrives ridge zachvíli skialpinists trickling hormones, or stupidity. One test is degenerating into převěje, then go down without a steep pípáků, probably lavinózním slope on the opposite side. We use several arcs luxury convention than we go into the forest in a steep slope. After a while we are in the drifts at the bottom of the stream. Nandaváme belts, traverse a snow bridge over a stream, and soon we're back to Marie. successful event ended with a beer and a late lunch in the sun. This is splitboardová comfort in Czech mountains.

Drifts through the window quite clearly indicate, that the next season splitboardová long time ago here, and it is time to change a little climbing shoes neohrabanější, but it zateplenější snowborďácký sněhule, pick up the repaired tracks, vyhrabat lavinový nádobíčko a poštelovat Split. Before all this I do, But still I will try to remember one of the last events of last season, I think that a bit of přehrabávání still in memory, so přeju friendly počtení and perhaps inspiration for one of your trips…

For once I added it to attack ledolezecký pair - the lament of David, who recently returned from the campaign úspěšnýho skostkej Ben Nevis, (of which can počíst here) – It could have warned me. The plan was to climb the north face Similaun Otztálkách bůhvíkudy go off and then back to Martin-Busch Huet….

Similaun North Face (photo by Alas)

On Friday night we get to the parking in Vent and solve the usual dilemma of whether to sleep or go to chat. Despite warnings cottagers, At night we go, because the road is dangerous, we decide to go – avalanche situation is still good, But the weekend it is corrupt, therefore not to waste time…On the way to surpass several chat lavinišť (travel must be after a long rain head open on the fact). At one point on vymrzlých traverses it on my split slowly slipping away somewhere in the valley behind the sound of the river…no choice but to hack the ax and made an unpopular operation nandavání crampons under the binding (you would like to dragonflies from Sparks!). The gargantuan and apparently crowded Martin-Busch Huet vyfluslí we get a total of around one in the morning, after rapid drying things to be spread as quickly and fit into prázdnýho studenýho winterraumu. At eight in the morning expelling us from the bunks logger "charmer", outside the fog and snow is flying. When we got up, vyrážíme obhlédnout Similaun. The weather finally umoudřilo, in azure mantle Otztálky faces monumental, but total kindly. Stoupáme is a obcházíme séraky ledovci, when we have four hours of the North Star appears Similaun.

Gradual onset (photo by Alas)

David (photo by Alas)

It is quite lost in time and look as kindly at all - it is clear, that today we would not give her. It is therefore sufficient eyes slightly to the left, where the shimmering plains stands a huge slide Hintere Schwaerze Nordwand (5O ° ledofirn, 3624m, 250 climbing meters). The goal is decided. After an hour of the onset, we, nandaváme seats, ski and travel back splits, observed in the wall fighting duo, who wanted to first solo, then sure.

Amazing Hintere Schwarz Nordwand (photo by Alas)

It turns out, that the wall is quite vymrzlá, I am so happy for her attack a pin, turisťák while I usually manage to hack a few trial. I'm beginning to suspect, cats in the tourist club store is not exactly the right. After several tens of meters of me one cat allowed undetected, falls off and roll off a few meters down… Since I screwed, I have to call David, that the cat come down and lend me two ledošrouby for resting during nandavání. Climb on, I only know about a slower pace - soft shoes and tourist cats are not the right equipment to climb the ice front points (even if "only" 50 °) - Man is too often tripping and podjíždí, so stay hang on just one útočňáku.

In the wall

I kept at it, but better than that of neighboring čehún twos, the ice banging his beak homemade welded to the tube, the legs of cats in 1920…. in its place, I would also like to pledge, and maybe even packed. Above our heads a few times rounded off to a helicopter patrol the mountain and looking at us suspiciously from the heel (at this time of day there we had to act like a nice bunch of exotic) eventually calms down and leaves. By proceeding without a rope I'm about as fast as neighboring deuce, dolejzám slides on top of a few resting in tightening the screws on the all-out high, crampons, calf insentient. Left for me than lying in the snow and collect power to the Congress, Eleven conquer while nedalekýho vrcholovýho Cross, which for me at the moment, completely out of reach…

Top Cross (photo by Alas)

Congress of the normal means of egress - skialpovou route is quite famous affair, one might almost say, but it's worth . We enjoy the great plains, zachvíli we're taking the, Now it remains to enjoy, morning we 4 hours of being picked. This part is great. Ultimately no choice but to overcome the unpleasant traverse back to the hut.

The evening meal is served with the Royal portions of stew Radler and the satisfaction we missing anything.

On Sunday I wake up in heavy rain. Followed by a descent into the valley and return to Prague…

Here we go ... (photo by Alas)

Day 1 1 – Karlspitze, Jochspitze

In the early December, several members of AKA Praha climbers club set off for the first Splitboard-Skitour of the season in Niedere Taueren. It was not only the first sharp test of my new splitboard Burton S-Series, but also an interesting oportunity to compare this powder phenomenon with classic alpine touring skis. Finally, the question that I was long time wondering about, will be answered, The question is: – Is the spiltboard really an instrument equivalent to the classical touring ski?.

Renča and Oskar - Skialpinisti

As a first goal at the beginning of the season, the mountain range mentioned above was chosen, Ski resort called Planneralm – friendly area with mild slopes and small peaks about 2000 meters. The first day we set out in the direction of KarlsPitze 2097m. The tour began on a forest road, which have soon introduced us to a valley, true paradise of scrub. It was already snowing heavily when we reached the ridge of Karslpitze in the harsh wind., The temperature was about -4 ° C. After a short top ridge tour we have achieved the final rocky parts. The skis had to go off here, so we continued only with poles through the few rocks to the summit, There was a great cross made of steel, guarding the summit book, already waiting for us...

Thereafter a short descent followed, rapid change into the freeride positions and a final freeride to the valley.. Here we took the decission to conquest the neighboring peak as well, Jochspitze 2037 m. Climb the slope was quite pleasant due to the wind cessation. At the end of the ascent, there was a short view from the exposed edge to the opposite valley awaiting us.After a few seconds, the clouds hid everything again. The descent to the chalett was due to the lack of snow on the other side of the mountain, carried out in the same line as the ascent.

Day 2 – Plannerknot,  Hochrettelstein

The second day I woke up with a strange flood - tide feeling in my head. The fourth bottle of wine last night was not entirely tactical, I guessed now.. It was a beautiful Sunday, with completely blue sky, so after a "quick" breakfeast we set out on a hike. Today's goal is Hochrettelstein 2220mnm. The climb leads firstly through a slight valley around Plannersee, after it gaining steepness, making us crawl up to the ridge of Plannerknot.

Renča, who is full of enthusiasm, is doing the hard leading work most of the time. I watch, I am observing how tide in my head changes into bunch of konckers and I would prefer not to see myself. Finally we are reaching the ridge, and consequntly the node called Plannerknot, From here one branch of the ridge leads in western direction to the next possible target- Plannerseekarspitze.
