love the spark tip/tail clips. had lots of icing with my rear voile clip but my front Spark clip worked flawlessly. Great design.

I was wondering when typical behavior of “triggered” millennials would rear it’s ugly head on a non political website. Anyone who has actually been around splitboarding for any period of time knows Russ and his intentions. It certainly isn’t monetarily driven. Maybe you should use a better investigating technique and look at the whole history…[Read more]

Both options are RAD!!! How much you want to spend?????

I would email will at spark. He provides probably the best customer service I have seen when it comes to these types of issues!

With all the new tech out there I have pretty much stopped doing conversions and since Triad was dissolved a few years back those aren’t a viable option anymore. I ride my modified first year Afterburners still and yet to even try out the crampons! So I don’t have any input on those. I would say that if you have the funds, I would throw down on…[Read more]

This is pretty sweet! So base cost for skis is 450 and up. What’s a split going to run I wonder. Also curious to see how they adapt to accommodate inserts and hardware.

These are the soft/hard boots from APEX. Softboot with a hardboot shell. So I imagine the general consensus being to have the hardboot for the way up and the softboot for the way down. That’s pretty cool except…… Then you have to carry your bindings in your pack for the way up. That kind of sucks if you’re limited on space. If you…[Read more]

looks like they introduced the tip/tail clips and k hook hardware into the core like they do with all the t nuts so the base has no penetrations. About time this happens!

You are right. I see it now. That does certainly make a huge difference. On a different note…given Voile’s place in the binding market and how they continue to drive down costs to the consumer to gain market share (ie splitboard, shovel price points), following inline to the top dollar asking prices for bindings bucks this trend. With their…[Read more]

I like that Voile is finally getting into the pin less category. That being said…I will have to voice a little skepticism towards their apparent use of aluminum rail touring interface. I know this was designed for light weight but aluminum does not wear well. Especially when touring exerts such a wide range of forces when…[Read more]

I have a pair of Ride SPI’s i would be willing to convert unless you have an extra pair to send this way if you are interested.

I have these baseplates:

or standard voile slider plates. No powdercoat would be cheapest. 125 plus shipping? I’m trying to get rid of all my excess crap taking up room in the garage.

Here are a couple of…[Read more]

What size are you looking for and how much are you looking to spend?

I use BD ellipticals… I’ve had 4-5 seasons on them and also use them for backpacking. Not sure if they still make them though. I haven’t looked for any in some time.

I have a hydro flask growler for backpacking. I filled it straight from the tap the day before it was sitting in the sun on day 2. No temp or carbonation losses. It is a little heavy and bulky, but mine is 64oz. I would trust that all their bottles are this good!!!
