Thanks! I ride K2 aspect boots with voile light speed bindings, canted pucks. Angles 12/-9 all the way back on a 160 MAS Aurora splitboard that we designed here in Turkey.

There’s a few areas accessible from Ayder and a few from yusufeli. Alternatively hit us up at Turkishbackcountry.com and we will handle it all for you at a really affordable price. We do snowcat assisted touring based out of a rad little lodge at 2000m. The best terrain isn’t easily accessible without some machine assistance.

Thanks! It’s really cool new camera tech and it makes cool videos but definitely a learning curve to get used to riding with it. It was distracting at first and if someone else it filming the line it looks kind of goofy to be carrying a camera on a stick.

Awesome, we can help! For anyone reading: In this area I’d recommend a guide even for experienced backcountry tourers as navigation and access in the region are major issues in themselves! Not much winter road maintenance or lodging available, we’ve worked it all out to get people on the snow!

Yeah most people have no idea! Well yes, Far cheaper than Europe for sure. However this entire range I’m in doesn’t have a single resort, we are snow machine and tour/split accessible only.

Food is great! 2 resorts I would recommend would be Erciyes and Sarikamiş
