We are relentless in our drive to find what’s new and next. We’re restless by nature and are always searching for new experiences and destinations.

CAT-SKI

CAT SKI
-

Join us in the Balkans for 6 full days exploring the spectacular Shar Mountains of Macedonia by snowcat. While the well known resorts across Europe are overcrowded and tracked out, the freeriding in the Balkans is completely undiscovered and waiting to be ridden. From wide slopes to narrow couloirs and natural gullies with vertical drops of up to 850 metres per run, the terrain here is suitable for both intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboard

EUROPE

INNSBRUCK FREERIDE

There is no other city in Europe where you can stay in the city and explore incredible resorts with great freeriding by day, and by night have the nightlife and restaurants just steps from our hotel. So you can spend your week deep in the white-room, you’ve got a guide on-hand who knows a thing or two about hunting down the best lines, finding the best snow, and making sure you have a good time while doing it. Our local freeride guide was born and bred in Innsbruck, is a passionate backcountry snowboarder, FWQ athlete and all-round good guy.

JAPAN

ASAHIKAWA FREERIDE
_

Asahikawa is Hokkaido’s second-largest city and boasts a reputation of having the most days with snowfall in all of Japan, as well as the record for the coldest temperature (-40°C) meaning conditions are consistently deep and cold all winter. On this trip you'll not only explore the backcountry areas within the Daisetsuzan National Park, including the famous Asahidake, but you’ll also ride the lesser known ski areas – Kamui, Canmore, Kurodake, Pippu and a couple of our secret spots.

Although we do have an itinerary to stick to, there are always opportunities to make the journey personalised.
