About This Podcast

Backcountry splitboarding conversations loosely based around the three main concepts of Fear, Failure and Success. We chat with snow-sports experts and industry pros, all with a story to tell, advice to share and a love of the mountains. The Backdrop Journal Crew are splitboarders and ski tourers with a snow-sports obsession. Not sponsored, not paid, we’re just a fanatical bunch of riders documenting adventures, kit obsessions and mountain-related musings, hopefully, to amuse, inspire, educate and bring together a community of like-minded mountain nuts. Ride, Connect, Stay Safe!
