splitboard
I'm riding in backcountry for a few years with "raquettes" snowshoes (?) and
my board on my back. Is there now good splitboards, that you can use without a toolcase on the top? Thanks yves |

Burton and Voille do them. Prior makes one too... it uses Voile's hardware. |

Thanks yves I helped a friend of mine split a board and mount the Voille system. It works well. It's a little difficult to swith out in the cold with gloves on but it's pretty solid. It usually only takes a couple of minutes to do the switch. Bomberonline also makes a kit. Haven't seen it except on their website. They are a local company for me and I have heard nothing but good things about their products. http://www.bomberonline.com/store/bi...splitboard.cfm In either case, if you are handy with tools you can get a board you like and do it yourself. snoig |

I haven't used any of these products, but I've checked in to the
chatter on websites and the like: So, there's two binding hardware standards right now: burton and voile. Consensous seems to be Voile has the better design. Bomber (www.bomberonline.com) makes sturdy hardboot bindings compatable with the voile setup. As for boards, there's Voile, Burton, and Prior. Censensous seems to be the Voile board is a little to soft in flex. Haven't heard much about the prior split specificly, but their other boards have a fairly good reputation. The splittail splitboard is a cool idea tho. A lot of people opt to split their own board so that they can have the good voile hardware with a board more to their liking. Check the discussion area of www.couloirmag.com, there's a lot of good splitboard info in there. The magazine is also working on a splitboard comparison which should be posted on the website in a month or so. |

The splittail splitboard is a cool idea When I was at the Prior factory near Whistler, they were making a *lot* of split swallow tails. The manager said that it was their most popular board at that time. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |
