Any snowboarder’s dream is to find a line full of powder snow. But this is often harder than it sounds. Our guides from the Burton LTR Backcountry Guiding program will show you how to explore new and off-the-beaten-track places from Bucegi, Baiului, Făgăraș mountains safely. These places will definitely leave a mark on your riding season and will also be some awesome memories.

Although this season is not looking exactly optimistic, the mountain tops and steep valleys are still full of snow. And not once did winter hit full force after March. So if you’re thinking about an adventure, get ready.
We are always thinking about adventure. So the other day we tried two places we always like to go. Because we are versatile, we preferred both the technical areas in Valea Cerbului, Bucegi and the flow lines in Balea, Fagaras. The snow was mixed, from portions of ice to thick snow and powder. Whether we were on splitboard or solidboard, on crampons, or on boots, they all have the same common denominator: good vibes only.
