Amazing! I’ve discovered a teaser for upcoming snow movie “The Kyrgyzstan Plan”. I was really surprised and glad that someone from abroad making such a great movie there.

A few guys sponsored by a few large brands are making a movie free riding Kyrgyzstan peaks with their splitboards since 08/09 season. Split board is such kind of ski-board. Imagine a board which can be separated into 2 parts and used as ski for climbing up the hill. Then you can connect two separate skis into a real snowboard and ride down, enjoying the finest backcountry possible. Check splitboard official website for more information on this device.

First shots has been made in 08/09 season, while riding the southern parts of Kyrgyzstan for 6 weeks. The full movie will be ready and released in September or October of 2010 because there is not enough video material yet and guys want to shoot some more videos during 09/10 season. Check official The Kyrgyzstan Plan blog. The teaser below is the result of 12+ hours of filming. Enjoy!

The most thing I like is that this movie will bring new people there from all over the world. Which is good as we will get new friends and new amazing freeride and backcountry days. Hope we will meet those guys in upcoming 09/10 season.
