Hva er Arctic Splitboard festival?

Fred har drevet med touring i Finnmarksalpene i 15 år og i

2024 sammen med gode venner fikk han ideen om å lage en festival ut av en ukes splitboarding tur.

Det kom snowboardere fra hele verden og vi hadde en fantastisk festival.

Daglige toppturer med lokale guider slik at vi kom oss til steder ingen vet om; med masse pudder.

Foredrag, yoga, skredkurs, filmvisning, hundekjøring, fisketur og fest siste dagen med lokalt band på samfunnshuset.

Tusen takk til alle som er med å lage denne festivalen til en unik opplevelse. Det har blitt en tradisjon nå - et samlingsted. Velkommen til Finnmark med oss, vi gleder oss til å samles igjen fine folka, fjella og kultur.
