elooa Splitboard Camp - Powder in spring!
With epic spring weather and perfect conditions, the elooa Splitboard Camp celebrated its premier in Kleinwalsertal. After an introduction in splitboarding with the K2 Big Mountain rider Chris Schnabel, the adventure could begin. During the two-hour climb to the mountain hut, the participants could get familiar with the K2 Panoramic Splitboard, enjoy the sunset and look forward to the delicious dinner. The next day started with a practical introduction into the handling and searching with an avalanche transceiver under blue skies. After that, the mountain guides ascended the group save to the first summit and enabled them a fresh and untracked powder run. With big smiles and full of new energy the lunch was postponed and the next summit was climbed. In the afternoon everybody returned exhausted but super stoked to the hut. The day ended with a keynote about alpine avalanche safety and hazards in a laid-back atmosphere. On the final sunday the third summit was climbed with the splitboards which offered a breath taking panoramic view of the Allgäu Alps and a long run down in spring-like conditions with numerous edges and wind-lips for all the freestyle enthusiasts. An eventful weekend came to an end and thanks to all involved, the first elooa Splitboard camp was a great success and we already look forward to a continuation next season.

elooa Camp5 - Spring Session above Innsbruck
Dreamlike sunshine and spring temperatures pleased the participants at the elooa Camp in Innsbruck´s Nordkette. A perfect shaped Nitro Skyline Park including kickers and rails, as well as a superpipe and an amazing panorama made the weekend just perfect. The participants could work on their individual riding skills in ideal conditions and push their tricks to the next level. From first ever straight airs over a roller, to boardslides an a downbox and even 540°s over a real parkjump, everything was sent down. At the videocoaching in the evening they received tips from the fresh crowned austrian vice champion in the halfpipe, Manuel Bernert. As a highlight for sunday, nobody else than snowboard pro Ethan Morgan was there to make countless runs with the campers. With smiling and suntanned faces, but also heavy legs ,the participants made their way home and were already looking forward to meet the elooa crew again. Maybe even soon at one of the upcoming elooa surfcamps!

elooa Camp4 - back to the roots in Allgäu!
The 4th edition of elooa Camps happened last weekend in Grasgehren in the bavarian region Allgäu. Already during the 80´s, when snowboarding was still a fringe sport and forbidden in most resorts, Grasgehren already welcomed snowboarders by heart. As a matter of course, elooa had to go back to this roots and pic this resort as a camp location. The cozy „Grasgehren Hütte“ was the perfect accomodation to get with only one quick lift ride directly up to the snowpark. All super motivated campers enjoyed multiple runs surrounded by good music and friendly locals. The whole first day was filming and with this footage everyone went back to the hut for dinner and a „XXL video coaching“ with Elias Elhardt and the elooa crew. The final „sunday funday“ included riding with Elias in 10cm of fresh pow and in a fresh shaped snowpark. So all the shredders improved their skills, where amazed by the riding of a pro and had tons of fun. Thanks to the professional filmer and photographer, even everyone got his riding secured in pixels as well.

elooa Camp3 - with deep powder into 2012
elooa starts with perfect conditions in Garmisch-Partenkirchen into the year 2012. Only the fresh shaped Terrainpark Zugspitze got covered by snow during a big snowfall just before the weekend, so the elooa Camp had to move over to Hausberg. The lesson for the morning was riding fresh pow! Snowboarding legend and Garmisch local Xaver Hoffman showed the campers the best powder runs in his homeresort. After this warmup the misson for the afternoon was to build jumps and get some airtime with powder landing, so the motivated snowboarders could learn a a lot about the backcountry as well as freestyle tricks. Wet and tired but super stoked everyone went to the Lodge for burgers and the videocaoching. On sunday Xaver showed us another "secret spot" near Kreuzeck where we built the first ever elooa funpark by ourself. In a 4 obstacle run with jumps, hips and jibs all the campers were able to practice new tricks and improve their individual skills thanks to the pro coaching. By noon the sun came out on time and a real backcountry jump was ready for the video- and photoshooting. The elooa camp was over in the late afternoon and everybody left Garmisch with a big smile and tired legs.

Second elooa Camp - a real success in the Stubai Zoo!
The second elooa Camp took place on Stubai Glacier from 2nd until 4th of december 2011. Despite the feared onset of winter, the sun was surprisingly out and let the fresh and perfect shaped Stubai Zoo shine. The 20 participants were able to hone on their riding skills together with Snowboard-Pro Elias Elhardt and Headcoach Friedl May, as well as the Ex-Pros Jens Anselstetter and Heinz Löhle, in near perfect conditions. A closer look at their tricks was taken at the video analysis in the evening. Through the helpful tips from the pros they could also improve their individual style. The results were amazing and the participants could stick their first boardslides and even 540s on the last sunny day. All this was rewarded with a professional photoshoot, like the pros do. To celebrate the great atmosphere within the group once again, there was another highlight for farewell: besides a great stuffed goodie-bag, every camper received a free ticket to the Relentless BigAir in Stuttgart to follow Elias and support him loudly.

elooa Camps are about to kick-off!
Together with the two former snowboard pros Jens Anselstetter and Heinz Löhle, Germany´s reigning 'Rider of the Year' Elias Elhardt has launched the project elooa Camps which will start in the winter season 2011/2012.
The ideology behind elooa Camps is simple, but the concept unique: International snowboard pros, certificated coaches and the founders themselves offer the participants an incredible snowboard weekend including pro coaching, photo shoots and video analysis. The participants will get an interesting insight into the snowboard scene and at the same time profit from the pro's experience and passion.
"We would like to pass on our expert knowledge as well as enthusiasm for
snowboarding and push the individual skills of each single one, no matter if it is about trying your first 180 or honing a 720", says Elias Elhardt, who will be joining the first two elooa Camps in Hintertux and Stubai.
Thanks to the industry's positive feedback and support and the cooperations with
Nitro, Moreboards, Rip Curl and TSG, the project has been finalized: www.elooa.com is online now and the dates for the first five elooa Camps are set!
CAMP 1 - Hintertuxer Gletscher > 28.-30.10.11
CAMP 2 - Stubaier Gletscher > 02.-04.12.11
CAMP 3 - Zugspitze > 20.-22.01.12
CAMP 4 - Grasgehren > 24.-26.02.12
CAMP 5 - Nordkette > 02.-04.03.12
