olyclimber Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Who owns or has used a split board, and how do you like it? Who makes the bestest one? I'm thinking about picking one of these up this summer if I can find a deal on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfort Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 A split was the best purchase I made in the past year Boarding in untracked pow I use a Voile 173 and I think its great, but I've never owned another snowboard, so I'm not too picky about performance - since I don't know what good performance is. Â But I like the simplicity of the design - it seems reliable. And with the mtn plate bindings and light boots, it doesn't weigh much more than my tele setup. Â Also, the Voile is the cheapest, and they come with skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Voile is all function no glamour. If you want to impress peeps and spend another few hundred bucks then go for the Burton. There are also other board manufacturers who sell splitboards set up with the Voile hardware, such as Never Summer and Prior. Â I have the Voile and had never skied before, and I really appreciate being able to skin up instead of bootpacking. BC skiers might actually let you go on some trips with them too. If you get a splitboard, consider getting the plastic boot/plate binding setup as opposed to soft boots/straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Justin, I forgot to mention that I kept thinking it looked like you had waterskis strapped to your pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
