- Freeriding and getting out of resort into untracked lines comes with an amazing feeling of freedom which you won’t want to go back from. However there are numerous risks that are hard to grasp when starting freeriding and it is important to take it step by step and know what you are facing.
In this episode of How To XV I take you through some steps to get out into the backcountry safely, start slow and build up until you have the knowledge and skills to enjoy the big mountain within your limits and you will soon be discovering a world of good times just beyond the groomers.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

I love the quick to the point and can-do attitude.
thanks!
This is the best video about freeriding I could find. Many useful tips. Everything explained in under 5 mins.
Actually that get-up tip is GOLD!
I got stuck once: I lost lots of energy trying get out because I lacked knowledges of how to do it properly. It was first run of the day, so you can imagine how I felt afterwards.
Thank you Xavier!
Only when the snow isn’t that deep
Quite nice, can't wait to get the feeling of riding powder again
This series is awesome, subscribed! Keep up the great work :)
You inspired me to search for pow in the future. Only been riding a year and I turn 40 this year. Thank you and stay healthy!
Same! So sad I started not 20 years ago. Anyways better later than never...
Powder is the best - as it doesn't hurt!
@@HOWTOXV Hey Xavier! Everyone tries to scare about powder. - "don't even think! Stay away!" e.t.c.
You've made one video on pow, but it is never enough. Would be great to get more tips on turns in deep pow while slow or fast, floating and more!
Anyway thanks for sharing! Much appreciated!
Appreciate your work Xavier!
Once again, great video with great explaining. Thanks Xavier 🙌🏼
And the most difficult question: find good powder to ride....
Japan, even the pistes are freeride powder dreams!
So right. Sad want to hit deep powder w a friend, all is so far and uncertain.
Thank you so much for this very informative and concise video! I've been 7 seasons snowboarding and just now getting into splitboarding and backcountry riding, but those tips about getting out of powder and keeping your speed would've been nice to have on some of those exceptional resort days!
Glad they are helpful. Enjoy the shred - now just waiting on the pow!
Merci.
Keep making videos please! You are awesome
Thank you. Xv
Sounds like some call it Backcountry and others Freeride.
I thought about getting your XV snowboard but still love my Jibsaw though :)
the old XV is gone now... sadly
Maybe a video of different types to dress in the mountain would be interesting. Thanks xavier for all this tips. :)
Ask and you will receive: czcams.com/video/87eEXB5r5-Y/video.html
Hope that helps and let me know if any other suggestions. Thanks Xv
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
@xavier de la rue can you please make a video on how to ride steep terrain? (How to ride it aggressively?). Awsome video btw!
Hey - you can find my steep video here: czcams.com/video/K3_BEmMdesY/video.html
Hopefully that helps - and all suggestions very welcome. Thanks Xv
That powder isn’t very deep... now if only there was a tip on how to get out of 4 feet of fresh powder at mount baker or mount hood. Feels like chest deep quicksand
Other importand advice is to go with someone experienced, or at least not alone.
And if you’re trying to ride pow between the pistes you shoul be aware of sudden drops back on piste or on a cat track
Good advice. Thanks Xv
Can you please explain the orange "emergency device" on your backpack, what is that ?
Hi - it is the Resero Emergency Beacon - you can find out more about it here: www.resero-whistle.com
What is you board Xavier? What brand, which model?
Hey - I personally use my Rossignol Pro Model, so I am a bit biased! www.rossignol.com/us/rossignol-xv-boards-snowboard-rehwc07-000-2019-2020.html It is great for Freeride.
Can i ride pow in a freestyle/all mountain board?
Yes for sure, you have to adapt a little bit, but it is still tons of fun. Xv
Make tutorial tow side and back side in pow
Cool thanks. Xv
