So cool, I've lived closed to there and have toured many times around there. My plan is to go snowkitong for the first time this year. Inspiring to see what is possible.

Super nice production and video! Who was doing the long distance shots? Did you have a friend with a drone or were you coordinating and controlling that too?

Those videos are awesome! Is that a chrono exp in 11m? What is your windrange on it?

I always wondered why Ozone didn't make a Chrono EXP V4. They simply continued with the V3.

Hi mate
This is the kind of riding I’m looking for. No interested in the flatlands and passes. We have enough of this in Australia. I’m coming over in April. Can you name a few towns/trailheads that a good to go and explore from.
Cheers
Al

Good overview of the swiss spots https://www.unhooked.ch/2008/spotguide/winter.php
Good starting point is the Berninapass.
