Simply stick both halves into the snow so they don\u2019t slide away.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-was-ist-eigentlich-ein-splitboard\">What exactly is a splitboard?<\/h2>\n\n<p>A <strong>splitboard is a snowboard<\/strong> that, as the name suggests, can be split in half down the middle. Ski edge tools on all sides provide both parts of the splitboard with sufficient grip on the mountain, giving it the properties of touring skis.<\/p>\n\n<p>Special mounting and a <strong>sophisticated binding system<\/strong> perfectly equip the splitboard for the ascent. Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/s\/ski--skins\/?searchparam=ski%20skins&amp;iBfResetSorting=1&amp;userInput=ski%20skins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>climbing skins <\/strong><\/a>are needed, too, which are easily attached.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Once the splitboarders have arrived at the peak,<\/strong> the skins are removed, the board is assembled with just a few simple actions and the binding for the descent is attached. This may require some effort in cold or bad weather, so <strong>it\u2019s worth practising the assembly process at home where it\u2019s warm<\/strong> to make sure each step can be carried out without spending too much time on it.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What kind of equipment do I need for splitboarding?<\/h2>\n\n<p>In order to enjoy the freedom and to be able to go splitboarding safely and independently in open terrain, you\u2019ll need the <strong>right equipment<\/strong>. The following are <a https:=\"\">must-haves in the backcountry<\/a> that you can\u2019t do without during splitboarding.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Splitboard<\/h3>\n\n<p>Find the right board for you. <strong>Its size and weight, the terrain as well as your skills<\/strong> are key aspects. In open terrain, the board can be a little bigger, providing you with increased stability when you\u2019re facing more demanding turns and greater speeds.<\/p>\n\n<p>Based on <strong>different shapes<\/strong>, whether <strong>Freestyle or Freeride,<\/strong> this can vary quite a bit and depends on your own preferences as well as where you want to go splitboarding. But in general, <strong>not much can go wrong with the length between<\/strong> nose and tail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_03.jpg\" alt=\"Alpine Trekker Pepsi with splitboard, telescopic poles and other equipment\" class=\"wp-image-63325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_03-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_03-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In addition to the splitboard itself, poles, a helmet and gloves are also part of the ideal equipment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Binding<\/h3>\n\n<p>In order to complement your kit, you also need the appropriate binding. <strong>Binding for splitboarding is lighter in weight and can be individually adjusted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>For steeper ascents, the binding features <strong>climbing bars<\/strong> which can easily be flipped up and down with the pole. If you want to use the usual binding, which is possible, you\u2019ll need a special <strong>interface and adapters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climbing skins<\/h3>\n\n<p>When going uphill, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/climbing-skins\/\">climbing skins<\/a> are attached under the splitboard halves. Ready-made, matching skins are available for most boards.<\/p>\n\n<p>Otherwise, the skins are cut to size and adapted.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> The important thing is that the <strong>ski edge tools must remain free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boots<\/h3>\n\n<p>Special <strong>boots for splitboarding <\/strong>are perfectly adapted to the splitboarder\u2019s needs. During an ascent, in particular, they offer <strong>greater freedom of movement<\/strong> and are often <strong>suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/crampons\/\">crampons<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Splitboarders who would like to save some cash can use <strong>conventional snowboard boots.<\/strong> To guarantee ideal support and stability, the <strong>boots should be a bit more rigid<\/strong> and fit perfectly.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Folding poles<\/h3>\n\n<p>You should be able to fold the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/ski-touring-poles-bf\/\"> poles<\/a> and make them <strong>small enough<\/strong> so that they fit in your backpack or can be securely attached to the outside.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avalanche airbags<\/h3>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/avalanche-airbags\/\">comfortable, perfectly fitting backpack<\/a> is a must, of course. In addition to <strong>airbag, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/avalanche-shovels\/\">shovel<\/a> and probe,<\/strong> you also need space for <strong>snacks, energy bars and plenty of fluids.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beacon<\/h3>\n\n<p>A beacon is indispensable in the backcountry. Make sure you\u2019re ALWAYS wearing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/avalanche-beacon-sets\/\">beacon<\/a> <strong>right on your body, <\/strong>even during an ascent, and check that it\u2019s set for <strong>transmitting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Before you leave your accommodation, have a look at the battery charge and do a <strong>partner check<\/strong> ahead of the tour.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course, the usual snowboarding equipment, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/ski-helmets\/\">helmet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/gloves\/recommended-use--skiing\/\">gloves<\/a> etc. are also needed for splitboarding.

The ascent takes place next to or on the edge of the piste<\/strong> and the descent on perfectly prepared slopes.<\/p>\n\n<p>For <strong>safety reasons<\/strong>, however, you should always ask if that\u2019s allowed and which slopes are suitable. Many ski resorts offer certain times of the day or days of the week when this isn\u2019t a problem. Don\u2019t diverge from routes listed on the piste plan to avoid endangering yourself as well as skiers and snowboarders on the slopes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_02.jpg\" alt=\"Alpine Trekker Pepsi splitboarding on Feldberg mountain\" class=\"wp-image-63332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_02.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_02-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Splitboarden_02-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alpine Trekker Pepsi ascending with his splitboard snowboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Splitboarding in open terrain<\/h3>\n\n<p>Crowded ski resorts, never-ending queues for the ski lift and loud, annoying music from countless bars along the piste. <strong>Get away from the hustle and bustle<\/strong> and escape into the heights of a delightful winter wonderland where the snow grouse and the chamois buck roam free. The splitboard helps snowboarders climb into the wonderful world of mountains and nature.<\/p>\n\n<p>Through snow-covered woods and out into the open, ideally <strong>along a designated route,<\/strong> to the peak of the mountain. Establishing a route yourself isn\u2019t easy and requires <strong>experience and expertise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>As soon as the terrain becomes steeper, <strong>kick turns are implemented<\/strong>.
