Description

The How To Series came about as after 22 years of snowboarding.

I wanted to pass on the many tricks and tips that I have learnt along the way. From using your transceiver through to dropping cliffs, camping on snow to planning your first tour and a whole lot more.

Adventures

Marinelli Couloir from Dufourspitze (4634m)

Massive day mission, starting from Zermatt to Saas Almagell. Did this mission with Sam Anthamatten & Jeremie Heitz, there is quite a lot of crevasse crossings, bergschrunds and lots of exposure! So you want to make sure you know what you are doing for this route, and be prepared for a long day... water, snacks and blister plasters!!

The Archlorch

Myself and Samuel Anthamatten decided to attempt this line in Svalbard "the big line of our trip" whilst filming for Degrees North.

Aulon Home Tour

Out the back door for a little touring mission - with a quick lift assist for some more vertical!

Secret

Attelas couloir with compulsory air.
