“My Slackcountry Freeride course is all about the ride, the ride and then the ride!

Slackcountry is the term given to the terrain that lies just beyond boundaries of the patrolled area. It can be accessed sometimes straight off the lift, by a short hike or even a quick Splitboard session. The Slackcountry Freeride course is designed for the experienced Snowboarder searching for the high octane Freeriding experience.

Baquiera is a large and well maintained ski resort on the Spanish side of the Central Pyrenees that is surrounded by easily accessible and fun Slackcountry terrain.

The idea behind the Baquiera Slackcountry Freeride course is to get out there and explore this terrain, taking advantage of the lift facilities and groomed trails as well as hitting Slackcountry missions out of bounds.

With the emphasis, as always, on Mountain Safety, the ‘Slackcountry Freeride course’ will teach you how to look at, respect and learn from the terrain in which you ride and increase your awareness for the mountains helping you develop your ability and confidence to tour, climb and ride in safety amongst the high peaks.

This Course will also give you the opportunity to test one of our new mcnab snowboards complete with the understanding of the science behind its design and the knowledge of how to ride it. For more info visit mcnabsnowboarding.com

I will also be teaching evening Flwo State Yoga Sessions for recovery and increased range of movement.

For this course we will be staying in the Hotel Vilagaros in the Village of Garos in the valley below Baqueira.
