Splitboards

Splitboards

A splitboard is essentially a normal snowboard that splits into two seperate ''skis''. These two halves will look like skis for walking uphill or touring.

To enable the rider to walk uphill, the rider plces the adhesive backed Skins to the base of your splitboard to provide traction on the snow.

Once at the top of the mountain, the rider removes the skins, attaches the two parts of the splitboard together and turns it back into a snowboard, ready for a well-deserved descent through the fresh layer of powdery snow.

Why Splitboarding?

Splitboarding provides real freedom that you cannot achieve with the help of ski lifts alone. With a splitboard you can access the fresh powder fields that you have always wanted to shred and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains, away from the crowds and noise of the tourists and busy ski resorts.

And, as strange as it may sound, the tough climbs are a wonderful part of touring. It is meditative, social and a very good workout.
