Salomon has three splits: 147 Derby, something similar to the spliff for tight trees and Japan pow (Mid-wide/wide, shaped like the YES 420ish) 160 Rancho, looks something like a Hovercraft but not quite as directional. 166 Sick Stick These guys also come with Salomon skins.
As well as that all there regular Sick Sticks have ABS down the middle so they can be split without needing to be sealed, something Capita also did with the Charlie Slasher.
Never Summer 2013/2014 catalog The Summit Split is gone. There is a new Prospector Split (a totally new board). A bit stiffer, which I appreciate and not as directional (Summit's nose is 2cm wider than tail!), which I don't. The Rocker/Camber is tweaked a bit with flatter section under the touring bracket for better skinning. I can't say I have noticed any problems with hold while skinning with the Summit, but it's a welcome improvement. Some of the graphics suck big time, some are quiet nice.

Dood, I LOVE the Prospector specs. Taper? My friend. If they made a smaller version with softer flex it would be good for my wife. As it is I may have to try a 161X at some point.

i think the Prospector is az directional... same 19mm of taper on the 167x split as on the 167 Summit. the thing is gonna be a serious shredder! i know some folks here aren't into deep sidecuts, the 167x Prospector has its quoted az vario 770... but looking at the waist, tip and tail specs the sidecut isn't az deep as the Summit 167, which is given a vario 826 sidecut in my experience w NS decks i've never had any of the issues that people criticize deep sidecuts for, i think its all about the 'vario' maths, seems to be some kinda trade secret Vince said they'd give me a crash course in quadratics, radians and radical tangents but i gotta get my grade 10 first
rumour says the Cobra graphics are being redesigned because of the feedback they got...
