Here’s a few little teasers..MFR has confirmed that Arbor will be offering a Women’s splitboard next season and this could be the production model on the left. Petzl will be releasing their ultra lightweight Altitude harness weighing in at 150g and almost small enough to pack in your fist. Acteryx won an award at the OR show for their new Procline boot. The boot is suppose to offer 20-30degrees of flex side to side which will help while walking and may not require as much work for Splitters to mod. Dynafit’s TLT7 will feature a redeisgned toe as well as a new single buckle system. The boot will weigh in at 1,010g and will also be available in the Carbonio model which will bring the weight down to 990g. Voile will be introducing a new pinless binding system as well as new board aimed at the DIY guys. January 16, 2016 at 2:33 pm #788361 Cbalke 237 Posts Voile’s new SpeedRail binding will feature touring hooks similar to that of the K2 Quicker binding. We’ve heard but are yet to confirm that they partnered with K2 on this. The bindings will utilize standard pucks but will slide on heel first as appose to toe first. The base features a lock that locks the binding into place when in ride mode. The bindings will also feature revised straps. The binding is expected to retail for approx $350 next season. Voile will be introducing the Spartan as an entry level board. With the expectations that the board will retail for approximately $550, Voile believes many riders would opt for this over the DIY route.

I’ve seen the short Youtube about them, but i’m wondering if any actual split boarders got their hands on them. Thanks for the info and as always I’m excited to see what comes out next!

January 18, 2016 at 10:25 am #788436 Cbalke 237 PostsIt sounds like Sno Planks, the hand built bamboo board builder out of Bend OR, will be revamping their line up for next season. This SnoDay Split will be one of the women’s specific models. K2 will be returning with the Northern Lite, Panoramic and Ultra split. There have been rumors of some of the Enjoyer boards being released as splitboards this season as well. The layout image of the K2 Cool Bean as a split has been floating around and it sounds like its going to happen.

He took a pair to south America in the early fall to put some early season abuse on them.

Maybe the Guch has sherpas that carry his solids using MTN Approaches for any impromptu kicker sessions with Trice. January 22, 2016 at 4:09 am #788561 Matt Wood 328 PostsCan we never speak of Mtn. Approach again.

As said in the above article Venture will be hanging out at the Spark booth at SIA. They won’t have any samples ready so they will be there to talk about next seasons lineup and their plans for the future.Next season’s offers a new men’s board as well as two women’s specific models.
