after a good storm it cleared up and i was invited to join jeremy jones and the deeper crew on a splittboard mission in lake tahoes backcountry. the other rider that came along was josh dirksen who seems to be fully into splittboarding to get were the powder is. although the weather moved in when we were ready to ride our lines it was a nice day out that did show me again that the best terrain is waiting for us to be accessed by hiking.

To ride this beautifull northwest face on Granatenkogel 3302m in the ötztaler alps we started our mission with changing weather in the afternoon to get to our camping spot at night. The weather forecast was good but when it started to snow at  night we got a little concerned about the safety situation for the climb the next day. luckily it didnt snow too much but enough to have  a great long powderrun down the face….
