For those who are already addicted to back-country riding, splitboarding is the next step.

​

Splitting your snowboard in two to great a ski-touring setup that still allows you to surf the snow on your way down lets you travel even further from the crowds and noise of the resorts.

Blending a passion for mountain travel with a passion for snowboarding and earning your turns the hard way is deeply satisfying, as well as being the closest thing you'll ever get to guaranteed fresh tracks.
