Henna Palosaari and Karen Ekman set out last May to explore whether there’s such a thing as a “perfect” place for a splitboard trip by bike — one that maximizes riding while staying fully human-powered.
10 days. 7 mountains. 300 km. 10,500 m ↑
Biking deep into high valleys, camping beneath the lines to be ridden, and chasing late-spring powder and firn, Ride to Ride documents their ten-day, self-supported journey through the Sunnmøre Alps on Norway’s west coast.

Amazing production 👏
So many questions, so little answers. Those magic snowboards that are being transformed into skis?! 😮 The houses they stop at. A time shared property?
Always love watching your videos!
That's sick!🔥
Uauu, girls this is amazing.
I can't believe you can do this.
Congratulations.
Also very good vídeo 😊
Why do they act like they're alone when they clearly have a camera man or two at least talk him or introduce
❤
Love it 😍
Bikepacking in Norway is my big dream🥹
A great adventure, beautiful views, and to top it all off, it's truly demanding. Few people realize how exhausting it is to ride a bike and then sleep in a tent. Add to that the all-day climb to the ridge and then the descent, and repeat it every day! Congratulations to the entire team 😀🤟
🌻 Wonderful ♥️ absolut brilliant! The world need more women Like they. 🥇
Would love to see a gear guide for this trip 😊
That kind of dedication, strength, and love for the mountains is next level. Wishing you many more epic adventures, safe lines and endless stoke. Keep pushing, keep exploring, and keep sending it!
I am of Norwegian descent and love my ancestors' country. But this seems foolhardy and suicidal. I just don't get how oblivious some can be, to the dangers.
Terve Henna!
You are a very brave woman!
Jumala siunatkoon sinua!
OMG, thanks for sharing this, i never expect to see a deeper side of norway, because i live a million miles away from you guys, i wish can feel this experience someday, shout out from indonesia!
Super video! Really makes me exited for Norwegain spring skiing. Slogen is still high on my list of placesI want to ski. What mountain did you go up after Slogen?
Wow, what a cool adventure, what amazing shots!
Now this is living.
""Hi, I am here for adventure"" The same adventure talk like in the other 5 million of this kind of films. Yes, its beautiful, turn down the volume.
This was amazing. More split boarding content please!
💪☺
What a great video, thank you for share❤
My new favourite YouTube video
Such a supernice adventure! it is a pleasure to watch!
A well made movie. Enjoyed it. Kudos to everyone. Keep it up please. Terima kasih from Malaysia. 🇲🇾
good video
this was a magical video to end my day with; bikepacking and snowboarding, love it 😁
That was an amazing, landscape, adventure and video. Your mountain skills are super impressive. I really enjoyed the film, thanks.
I’m 21 minutes in, and I just want to express how deeply touched I am by this video. It’s not just another “look good, feel good” piece — there’s something genuinely profound to learn from this adventure.
Many videos start with “I love adventure,” but your video truly embodies that. The moment where you flipped on the mountain had me holding my breath. I honestly thought that was the end of the journey, but you didn’t stop there — you went back up and did even better.
I found myself reflecting that, if it were me, I would have counted myself lucky and headed back down.
This is definitely one of the best bikepacking / adventure video I’ve seen in 2025.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Wow, what an incredible film! Amazing scenery and such and amazing adventure, just loved it! Need to get a trip to Norway soon.
Wow! You girls are amazing! Such a wonderful and challenging adventure!
Always watching your videos on my home trainer motivate me to go on adventures !! You girls rock ❤ kudos from Canada 😊
Good production !
