Backcountry Split 164 Snowboard

Engineered for Alpine Exploration and High-Elevation Ascents

Splitboarding demands exceptional balance between uphill climbing efficiency and uncompromised downhill precision. The Backcountry Split 164 is crafted with a lightweight paulownia and poplar wood core reinforced by directional carbon stringers, reducing swing weight during skinning while ensuring rigid torsion on icy traverses.

Moving through variable alpine terrain requires dependable skin track engagement and swift transitions. The integrated touring brackets and durable tip-and-tail clips create a seamless locked connection, transforming the two halves into a rigid freeride charger capable of handling technical couloirs and wind-scoured ridges.

Downhill Control, Floatation, and Edge Grip

Once switched to descent mode, the board's directional tapered profile and rockered nose provide instant lift above deep snowpacks without demanding excessive rear-leg pressure. Camber between the feet provides unwavering edge hold when navigating firm crust or sudden hardpack.

• Directional Camber Profile: Rocker at the nose guarantees effortless float in powder, while traditional camber underfoot maintains rock-solid edge control on steep hardpack.
• Lightweight Carbon Matrix: Dual carbon stringers running from inserts to contact points deliver energetic pop, rapid edge transitions, and reduced overall touring fatigue.
• Seamless Hardware Integration: Precision split clips and puck alignments eliminate torsional flex and board play across the central split line.

Sizing Guidance and Final Verdict

With its 164cm length and wide directional platform, this splitboard is tailored for mid-to-heavy riders carrying avalanche safety gear and touring packs into deep snow. It strikes an optimal equilibrium between float, skin-track maneuverability, and aggressive freeride response. For backcountry enthusiasts seeking remote terrain and untouched powder, the Backcountry Split 164 stands as an indispensable companion.
