Splitboard equipment: everything for your off-piste adventure

What is a splitboard?

The splitboard or ""split snowboard"" is the ideal solution for freeride enthusiasts looking to access wild terrain. On the ascent, the splitboard board splits into two parts, to which climbing skins are attached to ensure excellent grip during the climb, similar to ski touring. Some innovative models.

Once at the top, it's simple: the two halves of the snowboard reconnect via a quick-release system. This process ensures stability and maneuverability to fully enjoy the descent.

Splitboard bindings: a key element

The splitboard bindings play an essential role in switching between ascent and descent modes. Specifically designed for the splitboard, they rotate to offer freedom of movement during ascent and optimal rigidity during descent. Choosing the right bindings is crucial to maximize comfort and performance in the backcountry.

Main features:

• Walk mode with free heel for smooth ascent

• Quick release system for descent

• Compatibility with various models of splitboard
