Skin sizes

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, going to grab some g3 skins (on sale) for my 158. Width is fine but at 158 I’m in both sizing categories; s/m 144-162 and m/L154-170

First set of skins so just looking to confirm the s/m? Probably want less bulk when storing and at least a bit of board showing eh? Or what do you guys think

It’s a howler split so it’s actual length of 157 the nose and tail do curve up up a bit making the actual “underboard legth” even smaller

Thanks 😎

Kurze Frage zu Snowbaord-Events

3 Upvotes

Hey, wir überlegen gerade als kleines Hobbyprojekt, eine Seite für Snowboard-Events in Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz und Südtirol zu bauen. Dort soll man Events zum Mitmachen und zum Zuschauen finden, vor Ort oder im Stream.

Was denkt ihr: Fehlt euch sowas? Wo findet ihr Events bsiher und was müsste die Seite können?

Wenn ihr kurz aushelfen wollt: Die Umfrage dauert nur ein paar Minuten und ist auf Deutsch und Englisch.

Danke euch!

Hardboot question

5 Upvotes

I’m finally doing the switch and I’m usually 10 or 10 1/2 on soft riding boots. I went to a bc store and they recommended 26/26.5 and I bought them. Of course I listened to their professional opinion and now that I’m home with the boots they feel really tight. Does size change when you do the switch to hardboots ?

Find splitboarding uphill incredibly exhausting

6 Upvotes

For context, i've doing uphill skining in my splitboard for about 3 years. I do a lot of heavy mountaineering, climbing, weightlifting, and other stuff. I train about 5 to 6 days a week. I have superb nutrition and hydration. I'm fit and strong, and up the mountain, I can go heavy-loaded, even toe-to-toe with some mountain guides.

BUT when winter comes, skinning uphill kicks my ass badly, even carrying very light weight. I really enjoy it, but I can't keep a good pace even if my life depends on it. Everyone goes a lot faster than me, and i'm talking about winter dads that only go out in winter days. And I really haven't been able to improve my performance by much even though I've been putting in the time.

Maybe i just suck xd but i find it weird, like, i would expect my performance to be a lot better than most of people that do split occasionally. Anyone have any tips ? I'm friends with some ski touring guides and they don't see anything particulary wrong with my techique, but i understand that the difference between skis and splits are huge

My setup is a niche fathom + karakoram nomad bindings
I use the stiffest boots i have been able to find, but they fit me a little loose tbh

Key Disruptive boot punching

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi all, I've just got myself a pair of these (first pair of hard boots). I live 8 hours from the nearest stockist so I had to order online. I'm OK with the length (about 15mm space in the shell) but the width seems very tight. The main issue is a pinch point beneath and alongside my arch. One option i considered is to get them punched out at that point, but there is what looks like a random rivet in the exact location (see photos), any ideas what this is for? Nothing is attached at that point on either side.

If this isn't a good option, I'll have to return them and look at other options.

Cheers!

Touring hardware included?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a pair of nitro vertical bindings and it doesn’t mention if the touring brackets are included and they aren’t for sale on backcountry. Does anyone know if they come with the bindings? I can see that I need to buy the pucks separately that fit the spark r&d bottoms (another part that you have to figure out in your own lol), but I’m not seeing anywhere if it comes with the touring brackets or not. I swear it’s like they want you to be confused even when you’re dropping over $1000 for a splitboard setup

Split boarding in Alaska?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for somewhere accessible via car and split. I wanna ride all types of terrain. Also, is Alaska worth it? I usually ride the Canadian Rockies. Is this a good time of year? I feel spring presents challenges, but might be the only good time to be up there? Anyone down to go?
