rob Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've been riding inbounds for quite a while and I'm pretty OK. But since my board was stolen I'm in the market for a new one and I'd like to get into BC riding. So...got any recommendations on a board/bindings that will do well off piste? I imagine I'll want something lighter, etc... I've got snowshoes, and I'm taking an avy class this month, so I figure I got that angle covered. Any tips?

chris Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Prior splitboards seem to be the best - and with a splitboard you can keep up with us double-plankers a lot better than with snowshoes. Snowshoes definitely will slow you down, and make you fewer friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Splitboard is the way to go. Either buy a factory built board, or make one yourself using the kit voile provides. If your a snowboarder there's no point in learning to ski when you can just get a splitboard. Only advantage to skis is the approach, and the splitboard solves this problem. As far as the DIY kit, I myself stand by it fully. I rode a DIY board for over 6 months before I got a factory split, and I still let my friends use the DIY I made. If you can cut a straight line with a circular saw, you can make a splitboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frikadeller Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Geez, with more and more splitboards getting more and more popular, It's still a wonder why lamo-retardo skiers still think that you cannot BC with a snowboard... I mean, Geez, don't be a lamo-retardo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
