Down the Mountain

Clean mountain air, breath, refreshing, regenerating, on top of the world, soft, white powder, admire the beauty of majestic mountain peaks, rising expectation, preparation of what is coming, the feeling of excitement and a smile on your face, get up on your feet, the cool mountain air refreshes your face as the board is carving his way in the mountain.
For some, snowboarding is only an activity. Something you do on vacation. For others, it's a passion. There are lots of kinds and types of snowboarding. For the majority of snowboarders that's deep, fresh white powder snow, pristine slopes, a moment when there is nothing else, just you and the mountain. The feeling is almost the same as levitation.
It's astonishing how small and vulnerable you feel in this kind of environment. You're fragile and insignificant. However, you're a king on his „horse", when you catch the perfect „offpist“. And as short the ride may seem, that one little moment you are your own center of the world, an artist who is doing his finest work, carving it into the mountains.


The Board

Little effort
You and the mountain
Choice, a bit of fresh snow and the first "offpist"
Creativity and adrenalin
For the advanced..
