Splitboarding
Splitboarding is a winter sport that combines elements of snowboarding and backcountry skiing. It involves a specialized snowboard that can be split into two separate skis, allowing riders to ascend snowy slopes more efficiently. Once at the desired elevation, the board is reassembled for the descent.
This activity is popular among outdoor enthusiasts seeking untouched terrain and a more adventurous experience. Splitboarders use climbing skins, which attach to the base of the skis, providing traction while climbing. Safety gear, such as avalanche beacons and shovels, is essential for navigating remote areas and ensuring a safe ride.
