count me in.

I’m assuming this thread was stimulated by the article today on tgr:
http://www.tetongravity.com/story/snowboard/approach-skis-energy-saving-or-bullshit

they had some funny comments on the facebook page too… plenty of approach skis vs. split hate and skier vs. snowboarder hate.

My 165 furberg twin arrived last week… nice looking deck, the main thing I noticed was that the topsheet is rough, unlike their previous years boards with the very smooth topsheets.

When did you order yours? I ordered my split in early Sept. as part of the pre-order but haven’t gotten it yet. Not that I can…

My 165 furberg twin arrived last week… nice looking deck, the main thing I noticed was that the topsheet is rough, unlike their previous years boards with the very smooth topsheets.

It’s not looking like I will get out on this board anytime soon, we need more snow. I did ride the chair yesterday with my kids at Wolf Creek, boney but still the…[Read more]

I might be interested in this. Anyone free over xmas? like 12/25-12/28?

I just might be free those exact days… I was planning on the San Juans though, anyone have any experience with these huts:

Anyone care to weigh in on the twinberg, thoughts?

The 165 Twin with 15m scr sounds pretty cool on paper. The 16m radius on previous 162’s is about right for resort riding, but has been limited to one length. Now with 3 sizes, it should open the door to lots of riders…plus womens boards. Did you ever try the…

Looking to get to some more remote objectives this season, so I’m really going to be paying attention to this one.

The original version fully rockered furbergs are just a tad too loose riding in some conditions for me to consider them “perfect”. We will just have to ride the new furbergs to see how well they really do.

I like the idea of a bit more grip on the New Mexico hardpack I ride a fair amount of the time…

I’m really considering the…[Read more]

FYI they have both style of G3 skins for splitboards, but only in long, which advises 168cm+ length board.

Anyone know if I’ll be able to attach em to a 165 or 162 without having to cut and remount the tail connector?

No idea but at that price I’d cut them if needed and put Spark tail clips on.

Looks like splitboard stuff is…[Read more]

Nice, HFT and southparksplitnek. Will do – I look forward to shredding together. My lady landed a good job there; I can work remotely.

I’m down in NM, riding mostly Taos and Santa Fe but spent a lot of time this season at Monarch riding lifts with the family. Definitely want to split the pass next season. I also do a fair bit of splitting on Wolf Creek pass and even some in the Durango Silverton area.

What is the closest airport? errr large airport. Denver? Salt Lake?

It’s Albuquerque, about 4 and a half hours. It’s not really a large, more a midsize airport.

Hey everyone, Im new to the forum and fairly new to splitting but not riding. Before splitting I was using snowshoes and the splitboard makes all the difference, of course!

Yep, Furberg delivers the 1-2 punch straight to the breakable crust’s proverbial bean bag aka spunk bunker aka wedding tackle (as splitrippin might say.)

The large radius/reverse sidecut profile dominates my old NS with a 8.4ish sidecut in the crust.
