Based on the pow slashing shape of the legendary Sick Stick, the Salomon Split Splitboard excels along a wide variety of backcountry terrain, ranging from tight aspens to open bowls and steep chutes. The Salomon Split floats effortlessly in the deepest snow, thanks to its tapered twin shape and Cross Profile. It's flat along the board's effective edge for locked in edge hold and stability at speed, transitioning to rocker at the tip and tail for improved buoyancy and catch free turns. While most split boards feature a highly directional shape, the Salomon Split keeps you centered along the effective edge, with a slightly pulled in tail for superior float without sacrificing its ability to grip on hardpack. Since it's balanced with a centered stance, the Split is a great choice for throwing some freestyle into your backcountry pursuits. 10 to 12 millimeters of taper naturally sinks the rear end, keeping the nose from submerging when you're ripping fresh powder. Inside this backcountry ripper, you'll find a Ghost Green core that's comprised of lightweight paulownia for improved uphill efficiency and plentiful pop. Popster core profiling mills out key sections for a snappier feel when you're loading up the tail before boosting off cliff drops and natural rollers. Rugged ABS sidewalls withstand regular thrashings when you're clanking 'em together in tour mode or bumping into branches and stumps. Additionally, you'll find Salomon's fastest Sintered EG base that's finished with Electra for unparalleled glide over a wide variety of snow conditions in the backcountry. Please note, the Split comes with custom skins to maximize touring efficiency, as well as Plum hooks for a tighter connection that delivers a feel similar to riding a solid board.
