You are most welcome. May I ask where you are in the world? We just got back from a great day of splitting in the Rockies..
Neil is good people, great guide to work with
He sure is!
@@AQOutdoors I loved the tips in this video, especially the splitboard focused tips on terrain management. I can't wait to see what you guys bring next year with the guided group rides, and tips for splitboarders to keep up in the backcountry
