It's the "AT" of snowboarding, although they have a freeheel. If I was
going to snowboard (hah!), I'd git me one of them there Voile Swallowtails.

Sure. I've seen split boards. I've also seen a lot of boarders carry or
wear snow shoes. I don't care which techniques you use to get down.
I care less if a person not on my trip carries extra weight.
The main thing is to take one's time fiddling with board ski up or down.

But to match your uphill, I think it was one of the Duckboy books
which has the rocket powered toboggan.
