A splitboard is essentially a normal snowboard which splits into two halves. These halves become skis for travelling uphill, or touring. To enable the rider to walk uphill,‘skins’ are attached to the base of the skis to provide traction on the snow.
Once at the top of the slope, the rider removes the skins, attaches the two skis together and it transforms back into a snowboard, ready for a well-earned descent through untracked powder. Splitboarding gives you true freedom, enabling you to access untracked snow in the backcountry, and enjoy the serenity of the mountains away from the hustle and noise of commercial ski areas.
We can provide you the highest quality splitboards and teach you how to use them achieve your goals.
