Spending a summer on European glaciers was always a dream for me. And finally this year I made it happen. I must say that was a hell of a trip…
To be honest, after almost a month on the snow, I was really looking forward to go back home, hit some nice trails on my bike and have a beer with my friends.
But after two weeks being at home I am dreaming again how it would be great to make a revival of the SnowBroader European Summer Camps Tour that took us from Dachstein to Hintertux, Val Senales, Saas-Fee, Les Deux-Alpes, Tignes and finally Cervinia.
3000kms, 4 countries, and totally sick experiences along the way!
Riding on all the European hot spots was not the only objective of this trip. The idea is also to give you our opinion on where is the best place to go shred next summer, so here is our sort of top of the pops or best of if you prefer.

This is the story about our 3 days in Hintertux…
First thing in the morning after sleeping in my car, we went to find our room which was booked for us from Elisabeth, a really nice lady working in the tourist office Tux-Finkenberg. The room was perfect! After we got our lift tickets, we took our snowboards and off to the mountain. The snow was really wet and heavy and like we are used there was no visibility, again. Fogy and cloudy. We were the only snowboarders in the park. Some people would say that’s a snowboarder’s dream but I am telling you that’s fuckin scary, like a ghost town/park. Ok, back to the park. Objects in the park are shaped really good: two big kickers in the line (10-16m), four small kickers (5-8m), four different boxes (straight box (4m), rainbow box (9m), kinked box (9m) and c-box (9m)), super pipe (120m) and after big kicker line is a big transfer/hip.

Do you know Ljubljana? It’s Slovenia’s capital town! Yeah Slovenia, not Slovakia. Ljubljana is definitely the best European capital in my book! Such a sweet and laid-back place with plenty of cafe terraces along the river, and heaps of beautiful girls walking by!
It’s also the home town of Mr. Marko Grilc, all-round nice guy and one of our favorite euro-shredders!
Last time I spend a few days there in May, I was hanging out in one of these cafe, having drinks with my friend Andrej.

I donno how but we started to talk about doing a crazy road trip around the Alps to visit all the summer camps possible…Easy for Andrej, he -finally - just graduated from University and has the whole summer in front of me. Plus he just customized his Ford Galaxy - aka Battle Ship Galaktica -  into a RV! So bingo!
That’s the deal, Andrej and his friend Kristjan would go out on a European Summer Camp Tour and I would join them when they are around Switzerland and France!

The first SnowBroader European Summer Camp Tour was born and this is how it looks:
The guys will leave Ljubljana by the end of this week and will cruise around the Alps for over 3 weeks.
First they will stop in Dachstein to meet up with the Blue Tomato crew for some easy session and possible photoshoot.
Next stop in Austria will be Hintertux. Then it’s off to Italy and Val Senales to eat some spaghetti and say “ciao” to the Italian scene. The gentlemen riders crew will be their hosts.
After that it will be Cervinia/Zermatt or Saas-Fee, the order is not sure yet but both resorts will be crossed on the map. For the final lap of the tour, it’s baguette time, with a visit of probably the hottest snowboard venue this summer, Les Deux-Alpes, and then a grand final in Tignes!

Andrej and Kristjan will be providing reports from every place they stop, giving you the opportunity to check out the parks’ set-ups and get the feel of the vibe in every location!
Plus if we manage to pull it there will be daily updates on our Twitter page, so make sure to follow us there too!

That’s about it! We already want to give a big up to the resorts who are supporting our tour by providing lift tickets and accommodation in some cases (otherwise it’s sleeping bag in the Battle Ship Galaktica), and to the locals, like Vanessa from BT and Karin from Qparks in Dachstein, Elisabeth from Tux tourism, the gentlemen riders in Val Senales, and Manon in Tignes, who are helping us out!

The SnowBroader crew will be hitting around 3000Kms on the alpine roads, so in an effort to offset our carbon-footprint during the trip, all of us will join and donate to POW and we will make sure to promote the organization to all the people we meet.

So make sure to come say hi if you are riding this summer and check out the BROblog regularly during the next month for your dose of shred action from the best European summer snowboarding spots! YEAH!

Right after the Mondial du Snowboard last November, the Euro riders from the Bataleon team hooked up in HIntertux for a photoshoot. Behind the lens was Vanessa Andrieux and in front l’Arrogs, Kalle, Andy, Tyler, David, Gulli, Robin, Aleksi and last but not least Vicci Miller.

“This is a small and funny video of the last autumn Photo-shoot of our european riders… Maybe the shooting with the worst weather-forecast ever: Not even one sunny day, just rain, ice, fog and a crazy wind! I think we can almsot call this a storm… so this is not the most impressive ride ever… but it was so much fun anyways… and a big Smile on all the crew faces !  Sometimes the worst is the best… or something like that…?” Enjoy it
YEAH FOR IT!
