Every Snowboarder needs a Skier Buddy and vice versa, Snowboarding with Skiiers is the best thing we have - share the stoke - no matter which material one uses. It's a team adventure!

Nice one bro, always said, Skiers are a Snowboarders best friend. Not just a waxed board or skis but well tuned, detuned tip & tail, sharp and smooth throughout engaged length of edge. Fast & Clean. Missing Verbier, hope you have a great season

I have always found that pushing at the snowboarders waste/hips from behind is better, the skier looses less speed and you don't run into the issue of the snowboarder not letting go of your pole, or having it slip out of some ones hands, or pulling them over sideways. Plus you can steal their wallet.

Ha ha!! Wondered where my wallet had gone! But yes, this is a great tip thanks - also my wife has the new poles with the safety feature for avalanches on the handle and if you forget and pull hard the handle just comes off..

For the ski slopes I've noticed that a back loaded binding will keep you in roughly same speed with skiers. Especially in smaller resorts with a lot of in and out of lifts happen. They suck in the backcountry/deep snow if you try to load from the back so pick a model that works either way.

try to always use poles in the downhill for the slightly uphill or flat tracks. poles in the backpack are useless. and use fixed poles that are better for skinning.

ROO que je suis content de te voir en chier à la montée en dévers lorsque c'est béton! je ne suis pas le seul!! t'as des petits conseils pour ça? niveau matos, t'as quelques upgrades pour augmenter la rigidité latérale au niveau des boots et de la fix?? Merci!

J'ai un edit à venir sur les erreurs de splitboarding, ça va aider je pense et pour le coup j’ai fait exprès pour le shot. Normalement avec mes boots /fixs bien serrées et high back en position ride j’ai une rigidité correcte mais si t’as des suggestions je suis toujours preneur!

Be careful... they stop in the flats. These tactics are good when your putting in a track you don't want people to follow. A little uphill will defeat most boarders.
