FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01What is the difference between a splitboard course and splitboard guiding?
In the splitboard course you learn the technique: gear, switching over, skins, skinning, kick turns and basic tour planning. In splitboard guiding I lead you on a tour; you already know the technique and we focus on terrain, route and descent.
02Can I learn to splitboard if I can snowboard well?
Yes, that is exactly what the course is for. You should ride confidently in powder and open terrain. I show you everything about the splitboard.
03What does the splitboard course cost?
The private course costs the same as a guiding day: €450 per day, each additional person +€30, maximum 6 people per guide. Rent an Amplid splitboard with skins for €50 per day.
04Do I need my own splitboard?
No. At the SNOWBORN shop in Mariastein you rent a current Amplid splitboard including skins, plus transceiver and backpack with shovel and probe.
05Are splitboard tours in the Tux Alps suitable for beginners?
That depends on the tour and conditions. For beginners I choose short, manageable climbs in suitable terrain, set by snow and avalanche conditions.
06How do I book, and when is my date confirmed?
Book through the form on snowborn.at. Your date is reserved once the 30% deposit has arrived and the signed participation declaration is back. For short-notice bookings, 50% is due immediately.
07What are the cancellation terms?
If you cancel at least 7 days before, you get the deposit back. If you cancel later, the deposit is kept as compensation.
Ready for your first splitboard day?
Send me preferred dates, group size and experience. I'll get back to you with a proposal.
