The second HELVETIC BACKCOUNTRY trip far away from our Alpine homes went up North. Ready to shred at almost 70 degrees Northern latitude, the Vader Family reunited in the Lyngen Alps in Norway. After heavy Arctic low pressure systems that almost killed the group's adventure, the sun lighted up the landscape, and Northern lights set the stage for some of the best rides the Vaders ever experienced. This is a puritan low cost movie - no helis, no snowcats - just hiking and snowboarding; just like we like it.

SOUTHERN TRAINS

HELVETIC BACKCOUNTRY has left its Swiss Alpine home during the winter of 2009 so that their beloved snowboards could go explore some of the unknown. After an epic train journey to Bulgaria, the search for snow was on. Without much fluffy white both in the Pirin and Rila mountains, another train marathon ended in a remote valley in Italy. Finally, riders and snow were merrily reunited. This is a puritan low cost movie - no helis, no snowcats - just hiking and snowboarding; just like we like it.
