Episode 38\nDark Starts backcountry splitboarding podcast presents brand and business development manager at Cardiff Snowcraft and global athlete Bjorn Leines.\n\n Winters in Utah with his family led to local competitions, X Games, Olympics, sponsorships and shredding lines with some of the greats.\n\n Now calling Utah home, he discovered splitboarding in order to gain access to the nearby mountains that had been calling him for years.\n\n As an ambassador for Cardiff Snowcraft, he\u2019s constantly feeding Sam with the ammo to build better rides.\n\n\nWhen we chatted with Bjorn, one of the snowboarding greats, one thing was crystal clear: in order to truly experience the mountain, you need to split. What made it possible for him was better gear. Listen in as he shares his amazing stories of the glory days of snowboarding, his gear and planning tips, and how splitboarding allows him to genuinely connect with the mountains. Now he shares the experience with his sons, \xa0helping them carve their own path in the industry.\nShow links:\n@bjornleines\n@cardiffsnowcraft\n@blackdiamond_snow\n@blackdiamond\n@celtek\n@remindinsoles\n@karakorambc\n@bluebirdwax\nOther:\nDig my quiver\nFat Map\nSpecial thanks to:\nTahoe Lab Boards\nUse promo code DS15 to get 15% off all boards\nThe Pro Standard\nUse promo code DarkStarts to get free shipping\nhttps://www.s3boardshop.ca/\nUse promo code DS15 to get 15% off everything in the store/online\nGroundswell Marketing\nValerie Black \xa0The Artist \xa0Behind The Logo\nFollow us on Instagram:\n@ Darkstarts.podcast\n@ Darkstarts.media
