Hi, can’t make it to the split boarding festival but keen to find some one / people to team up with to go split boarding. I’ve done avi training in Canada, have all gear, (beacon, shovel, probe) and have time off work from 1/8 thru 10/8. I’ve got a 4×4 and am based in Wollongong. Am keen for backcountry or slack country, can camp out but only have 3 season msr tent. Any suggestions on finding touring partners please let me know. Thanks, Kel. 0408670032.
[hi Kel. A great place to find people to ski/ board with is the backcountry forum. http://forums.ski.com.au/xf/forums/backcountry.18/
