What we do
The association grew out of people who surf, skate and ride mountains, and it shows in the calendar: when the sea hits its worst stretch, the activity moves to the snow. It is the same community doing the same thing on a different surface.
Trips work exactly like the surf ones: the forecast gets watched during the week, destination and cars get fixed, costs get shared and up we go. Nobody makes money out of it and nobody goes alone.
Winter is also when the training room makes most sense. Legs, core and balance get trained in October and November so that the first run in December is not also the last of the season.
And yes, some people skin up. It is done with the right kit, with people who know the terrain and without heroics: the mountain in winter does not forgive improvisation.
