Learning to Splitboard | Episode Three | Steeper Terrain and Tree Runs

AQ Outdoors video producer Matt Allen is out on his third day splitboarding with Simon Coward from AQ Outdoors/Splitboard HQ. In this video Simon drops more splitboarding and backcountry knowledge, including how to traverse slippery angled skin tracks, avalanche terrain indicators, transitioning in steeper terrain, and more. We get to ride some decent snow and a fun tree run.
This vlog is the third in a series covering splitboard progression and backcountry safety from the perspective of a life-long snowboarder.
