    Mike started the topic FS: Jones Carbon Flagship 164cm 2015/2016 model in the forum Splitboard Swap 7 months ago

    Tapered, directional freeride board. Hybrid cam-rock: camber under the feet, early rise rocker in the nose and tail for float in pow.

    Specs: length 164cm; waist width 25.4cm; running length 121cm; sidecut radius 9.3m; stiffness 10/10. Tip length 25cm, tail length 19cm, tip width 29.6cm, tail width 29.4cm, setback 35mm, centered stance…[Read more]

    Mike started the topic Boot crampons for splitboard and hiking boots in the forum The Gear Room 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Looking to buy a pair of boot crampons which will fit both my splitboarding boots (Jones/Thirty Two MTB, Size US 11.5) and my hiking boots (Zamberlan Baltoro GTX EU Size 46). Appreciate that might not be possible but I’d rather not buy two sets of crampons if I can avoid it.

    Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Hey Dan,

    Higher Ground Sports in Golden has them.

    Give them a call on (250) 344-7980. : )

    Hopefully they have your size!

    Mike replied to the topic Fitwell Backcountry In Canada and Sizing information in the forum Boots 9 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi Dan,

    I don’t know anywhere in BC you can buy them. I’d recommend calling Splitboard HQ in Calgary – I’ve found them to be very helpful on splitboarding questions. Alternatively Escape Route in Whistler? They are at least backcountry-focused though I don’t have much experience with them.

    I tried on a pair of Fitwell Backcountry that I bought…[Read more]

    Mike replied to the topic Amplid Milligram in the forum Splitboards 10 months ago

    Interesting – haven’t weighed my board but have had similar issues with both the Jones Carbon Excavator Shovel and Karakoram Prime X Carbon bindings being heavier than advertised (392 vs 377g for shovel, 656 vs 580 for bindings – though in fairness that was with the normal toe strap and not the airstrap).

    Curious as to how much variation there is…[Read more]

    Mike started the topic FS: Karakoram Prime X Carbon 2015/2016 Size Medium in the forum Splitboard Swap 11 months ago

    Some scratches to the paintwork, as you’d expect. Otherwise in good condition – have seen ~35 days use.

    Included:
    – bindings and interface kit, i.e. Ride Mode 1.0, Tour Mode and the new DualSpeed Riser with Heel Lock (I upgraded these)
    – ankle and heel straps were upgraded from the original to the “Airpod” straps

    Main differences with the…[Read more]

    Mike replied to the topic Ultralight Splitboarding – Save kilograms or pounds and perform better in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    Found this thread very helpful so will try to contribute.

    Lightest shovel (245g) at the moment appears to be the ATK Carbon Shovel but the shaft is not detachable from the blade. Not sure how well a carbon blade would hold up in avalanche debris.

    The Jones Excavator Carbon is heavier (377g) but has a detachable shaft.

    Lightest probe I could…[Read more]

    Mike replied to the topic Pants and hardshell in the forum The Gear Room 1 year ago

    Tried to reply earlier but had problems logging in (seems others have also had issues).

    To answer your question: it’s a matter of personal preference. I like bibs (Burton AK) rather than pants. For a hardshell jacket, I have a lightweight trail running jacket for the uptrack and a lightweight, 3L Goretex shell for the descent though I often don’t…[Read more]

    Mike replied to the topic Jones Solution / Flagship – Very different ride in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 1 year ago

    Whereabouts are you based? I have a Carbon Flagship 164, either 2015 or 2016 model. Might be able to let you take it on a test ride. I also have a Carbon Solution (162W, 2015 or 2016) but I find it hard to make a direct comparison because 1) the boards have different width/specs, 2) I ride different bindings on each and 3) I’m using different…[Read more]

    I should be in Revelstoke for at least part of February. I’ll be working while there which will limit trips to weekends but definitely interested in finding people to go out with! I’ll message you both.

    “the original footbed is garbage”

    I suspect this is true of most/many boots. The footbed on the Burton DriverX isn’t good, either – I swapped mine out for Sidas footbeds.

    Mike replied to the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 10 months ago

    I’ve been using a Mammut Nirvana Pro 35L for the last three seasons. I find the back panel access pretty useful but it adds weight, which is the tradeoff.

    Mike replied to the topic First splitboard advice in the forum Splitboards 2 years, 11 months ago

    I’ll second what bcall8 said on the board. I have a Carbon Solution 162W and it’s not a board I enjoy riding in tight trees (though I do like it overall).

    Mike replied to the topic Wide splitboard skins in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 3 years ago

    I have a Carbon Solution 162W (30.3 / 26.3 / 30.2) and the G3 Alpinist skins (technically the white label version for Backcountry.com) fit fine. I’d be surprised if you had an issue with the skin width.

    That said, I’d just go with permnation’s link – hard to beat that price and Jones skins are made by Pomoca anyway.

    Mike replied to the topic Splitboard Backpack Recommendations in the forum The Gear Room 3 years ago

    I’ve had a Mammut Nirvana Pro for four seasons now and I’m happy with it. Came recommended by ski patrol here. Comfortable, lots of features. Unfortunately it seems like it’s expensive in the US. I managed to pick one up while in Europe for about $140.
