I will try that.. just need to rent a splitboard from thebc.net and make sure before I make a purchase..

thanks

btw- what type of bindings do you use in that picture? strap ins? mtn plate? tele plate?

Nice picture!!! Do the bindings on the split skis stand up to such abuse? I might need to try making turns on the split skis before I make my final say. It appears that splitboards might be the best of both worlds.. (I can board the steeps and ski the bumpy unevenness).

Nothing beats floating on a board in powder- this is for sure.. I just can’t stand the smaller terrain features that stop me dead in my tracks.. like the short 50 yards or so of flat on a ridge line or in the trees. Skis are just superior when it comes to that.

For some reason I have convinced myself that being mobile on skis (i.e., having both…[Read more]

any ideas?

Finally!! there needs to be more snowboard boots with actual soles!!!

I will definitely post when the time comes..

Don’t be shy!!!

I used the voile mtn plates on my splitboard (with koflach degres) and they sucked for the descent. For the ascent it was nice to have these lightweight bindings to make carrying the board a bit less cumbersome. Skinning in these bindings was super nice, you have more room to move your feet about, compared to strap on bindings where the bindings…[Read more]
