Without any doubt, the Kuehtai belongs to the best touring resorts of the Austrian Alps. No wonder, that it deserves a fixed date in the Choice Splitboard Camps schedule. In early March 2019, a group of highly motivated splitboarders and splitboarding newbies came together at the cosy Zirmbachalm for the first basic splitboarding beginner camp of the season. As usual, mountain guide „Snoppy“ aka Christian Eberherr did not take the levels too seriously, so the camp happened to be a bit more challenging than level 1. But as we all know – and that´s what the Choice Splitboard Camps are famous and popular for - the magic happens outside your comfort zone! In the end, everybody was super happy and that´s what matters, right?

Snow as far as the eye can see – on the surrounding peaks and in the valley. The sky is perfectly blue, and you gaze upon a freshly shaped kicker line. Sounds like perfect conditions for a sick shred day? Definitely. But where can you find shred conditions like these in spring? At Ehrwalder Alm.
