what to expect
During the festival
We will be happy to gather together and have fun no matter what are the conditions in the mountain. PRAY FOR SNOW!
If the conditions in the mountain doesn’t allow the practical part of the program to be fulfilled, then we would transform them to other useful activities.
“Split test” – everyone has the opportunity to try how to walk with a split board, how it is assembled into a whole board, what are its features and how it differs from an ordinary snowboard
Avalanche range for practicing the skills of working with an avalanche device, locating and digging out an avalanche casualty, which has become particularly popular among our young participants in recent years;
Yoga for recovery and injury prevention;
Presentations on various topics – sports, nutrition, how to take care of your equipment (cleaning waterproof clothes, waxing and sharpening the edges of skis and snowboards) and others.
Какво представлява самият фестивал?
Сплитборд фестивалът се провежда в Пирин планина, в подножието на вр. Безбог. Той не е обикновено развлекателно събитие, а тридневно събиране с образователна кауза. Нашата мисията е да покажем на хората как да бъдат отговорни в планината и какви знания и умения е нужно да притежават, за да бъдат в безопасност.
През последните 10 години, фестивалът е изиграл ключова роля за популяризирането на сплитборд туринга в България. Хижа Безбог събира на едно място сноубордисти и скиори, които искат да избягат от тълпите, да усетят свободата да стигнат до отдалечени върхове и да се спуснат по недокоснат бял склон. По време на събитието организираме турове с планински водачи, както и практически занимания, презентации и лекции на теми като лавинна безопасност, поддържка на екипировка, първа долекарска помощ, йога и правилно възстановяване за спортуващи и др. Участниците са от деца и младежи до опитни планинари.
