Done!
the new format looks cool!
still getting used to it though…

Been riding the Odin 14/15 in a size 165/26 since February.
I’ll write a review once I have some time but I totally agree with what Barrows said here! it has become my favorite board.

btw the weight of the new Odin in 165/26 is 3’7kg, which is 8.1571037 lbs according to Google.

I think the zebra rubber was a smart move from Fitwell!
that makes them super noticeable, easy to distinguish even in a blurry pic! :bananas:

Exactly, the new 14/15 Venture Odin has been resdesigned so now the radius is around 12m
I have already the 165/26 for next season, can’t wait to try it out!

Bcrider,
I agree with you on the Salomon Premiere. The guy who developed it is a splitboarder, and I think it could work for certain days. I feel like it will work better in Europe than in the US. I guess we’re more used to narrow skintracks and steep traversing following skimo people…
the idea that the skis are stiff and the middle part softer…[Read more]

it looked the same as previous year, just a change in the design!

Not sure if this was the anti-social or the spliff… i think anti-social, but they were all quite similar!

A couple of things that come to my mind:

Jones will not be offering the mountain twin splitboard, but they keep the solid board.
Burton will not be offering the Freebird anymore, just the landlord, spliff and anti-social.
K2 offers the channel system in the Panoramic split aswell, they don’t change anything else, still offering the Kwicker
Smokin…[Read more]

Hey guys,
after 4 days of working hard at the ISPO trade show I can finally be online!

Here’s a video of how the new Plum works:

ISPO ’14 Highlights – Plum bindings system –

In my opinion, a great system, still a prototype, but super simple and fast and easy to switch from tour to ride.

Do not hesitate to ask me for more…[Read more]

What’s the purpose of an inner sidecut?

Sidehilling grip will be better with a straight edge.

the purpose for the sidecut would be for better splitski performance on rolling terrain, not for traverses.

exactly, not everything is traversing when touring!

Bcrider, agree with you completely! :thatrocks:

I don’t see the point on doing a 3-parts splitboard if the two halves don’t have a sidecut on both edges, like the design from Phenix!

I’ve been on them for about 5 days and I just love them!
I would say it’s a reallly stiff boot, for sure the stiffest one I’ve used.
Last year I used the Deeluxe Spark XV, and they softened up very easily after a few days, the Fitwells seem to hold better.
I usually don’t use the powerstrap for touring and strap it on the downhill.
The touring…[Read more]

Philip.ak,
I use a 29cm Fitwell, let me know if you need anything else!

they sent me the blue ones (new version) with the new touring brackets too!
not sure if they have the orange ones in stock anymore…

I had the same problem with the 2011 version without bushes.
It didn’t break completely but due to the friction of the pin the hole got wider and there was too much lateral movement when skinning.
Voile sent me replacement rails right away (the blue ones), so it’s just unscrewing the old rails and replacing for the new ones.

I can count at least 3 manufacturers claiming to have the lightest board, and many more saying that “probably” or “one of the lightest”… who is right?
the numbers are out there

Taylor,
We didn’t feature every board of every manufacturer, but we tried to feature every manufacturer that we could find that produce splitboards regularly and they offer them in their line-ups, not custom builders like Donek as you mention, First Light and more. I personally love this custom manufacturers but we had to make a decision about…[Read more]

been using decade’s for the last 6 or 7 years.
different models, the last ones with SL lacing.
great boots, one of the best liners in the market for sure (for their price), and the lacing system is reliable.
However, the sole isn’t made for hiking… I slipped a couple of times when hiking in sketchy areas so I stopped using when I know there’s…[Read more]
