Splitboard: the freedom of freeride with Snow Concept

Why choose a splitboard?

The splitboard has become an essential equipment for snowboard enthusiasts wishing to explore off-piste with full autonomy. Inspired by ski touring, it allows climbing without carrying your board, thanks to a clever system where the snowboard splits into two parts topped with climbing skins. Once at the summit, simply reassemble the board to enjoy a magical powder descent.

Thanks to Snow Concept, find the best brands such as Jones and Rossignol to live a unique freeride experience.

Understanding how the splitboard works

On ascent, your splitboard acts like touring skis. Although grip is somewhat less than classic skis due to the shape, effectiveness remains impressive. Once at the summit, you quickly assemble the two halves with a reliable and solid system to regain all the sensations of a classic snowboard.

Key points to remember

• Directional shape is ideal for more stability on the descent.

• Splitboard-specific bindings pivot and lock to adapt to both ascent and descent phases.

Splitboard or split snowboard?

Both terms refer to the same revolutionary concept: allowing snowboarders to reach summits without the bulk of snowshoes. The split snowboard transforms your freeride approach by combining the efficiency of ski touring and the pleasure of snowboarding downhill.

At Snow Concept, you will find models adapted to all profiles: from pure freeriders seeking untouched powder to trick enthusiasts eager to push their limits away from groomed trails.

Advantages of the splitboard for freeride

• Easy access to virgin and wild terrain.

• Less physical effort than carrying a board on your back.

• Greater autonomy and freedom of movement.

The splitboard is the perfect choice for those who want to combine adventure, the joy of sliding and respect for the natural environment.

Essential accessories for the splitboard

To practice splitboarding in good conditions, some additional equipment is essential:

• Climbing skins for grip on the ascent.

• Climbing knives to secure icy passages.

• Telescopic poles easy to store for the descent.

• Avalanche safety pack including transceiver, shovel and probe.

• Snowboard backpack adapted to carry all your gear.

To maximize your comfort, choose technical clothing: breathable thermal base layers, 3-layer waterproof jacket and gloves adapted to winter conditions. Remember that the ascent quickly raises your temperature! Prefer a modular outfit.
