Thinking of doing an intro to touring day in Obergurgl. Mate boards and the ski school are happy for him to join but obviously he’ll need a splitboard. Can’t find any listed on the websites of hire shops - does anyone know if it’s possible to hire one in Obergurgl?
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

You can try Moreboards (Intersport Glanzer in Sölden), they should have something recent and good. If not ask at the different ski schools/ and mountain guide companies in Obergurgl.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There is one small shop that sells and hires touring gear. I've forgotten its name but it's inbetween Sport Lohmann and the hairdressers on Gurglstrasse. This place would be the best bet for split board hire.

PS Long time no speak, are you still skiing Obergurl every year or have you switched to St Anton (or somewhere else) now?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi DB, it's the shop where you bought your transceiver from Ivan. I doubt Scheiber will have a splitboard for hire. Going to obergurgl on 10 April and was in St Anton over New Year. Have you been out touring much?

This year has been a disaster out here in East Austria. Skied & toured 9 days in St Anton before Christmas but only managed one ski tour (last Sunday) since then.
Have a long weekend planned for ski touring end of March in Kolm Saigurn.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

Thanks @Kelskii - will have a look when we get there.

@narbs, if he can’t get a split board, he could just hire some snow shoes.

Snowshoes tend not to be a million miles off skinning in terms of speed, but I always found I was far more tired at the top.
