I'm pretty sure XV is the best channel on KZread. Thanks Xavier for putting these together. I've been touring for 14 years and skiing for 25 and I learn something new every time I watch these.

Me too several years ago :D

Adding splitboard crampons for the approach and boot crampons for the final push starts cramping up that inside space... I often wish my 30l airbag was a 35... Spot on with the saucisson! Food of the (summit) gods!

After two years of condemning to that style of packing. It's great! I use snow shoes, but no ice axe/abc (sometimes crampons) due to my mountains specification (elevation max of 1100, and HUGE tree biotop) Helmet attachment is godlike! No dangling, no snow inside, no lost space. BUT It works great in summer with mountaiboarding. I used to strap poles outside, so I catched every branch. Bought dedicated ones and it's the best ride improvement I did :D

Yes - nice, what a difference a nicely packed bag makes!

Great video again! If you run out of ideas someday - let us know about your pro model splitboarding boots. I would be very interested if you do any special boot fitting, like heatmolding, aftermarket insoles etc.

Cette vidéo a sauvé notre sortie, merci Xavier ! en effet avant ma toute première rando split sur les montagnes grecques, j'ai regardé attentivement cette vidéo et suivi à la lettre la partie outils et grâce au scotch solide emporté on a pu réparer la semelle d'une des botte de mon pote skieur qui ne pouvait plus enclencher dans sa fix, fin de journée on rentrait et il restait 6km dans une neige où la marche est quasi impossible....bref la grosse m.....trois tour de scotch après on était repartis, donc mon pote et moi tenions à te remercier car sans ces conseils de qualités..... continue à nous faire rêver et progresser et si tu passes du côté du mont Olympe c'est avec plaisir que nous t'offrirons une boisson locale ;) Ludo

Great videos! Simple instructions for us newbs to at a minimum get the basic questions answered. Love it! Just found out about your riding and I now remember you from other movies and videos I’ve seen. You my new favorite rider to watch. Thanks and keep up the good work! Peace brother!

I pack 25ft of 750 paracord. good for pulling skiers out of creek beds, tree wells, and crevasses. also good for making an emergency BC sled or hitching a ride on snowmobiles and trucks. P.S. Sashimi Split?

Which brand bottle are those? I've seen quite a few foldable ones, but the quality didn't seem that great, this looks a lot better. Still doubting to do bottles or drinking system.

Hey Mirna, They are Hydra Pack, I like the fact that they have a solid top and bottom and so when you pack them away they are protected from those crampon spikes and other such things! XV
