Splitboards
Types of splitboards
If you're looking for a splitboard, it's important to buy one that suits you. There are five types of splitboards:
- All-mountain
- Freeride
- Powder
- Freestyle
- Multiple day tours
All-mountain splitboards
These are the most versatile splitboards. For riders who want to climb up anywhere on the mountain and enjoy the descent regardless of the conditions.
Freeride splitboards
Freeride splitboards are intended for riders who pick the most challenging lines and couloirs. The boards are stiff, very stable and offer a lot of grip.
Powder splitboards
Powder splitboards deliver strong flotation and manoeuvrability in deep powder. For those who enjoy a 'surfy feel'. The boards perform less well in other conditions.
Freestyle splitboards
Freestyle splitboards are for riders who want to do jumps and tricks on descents. These boards give you the freedom to ride creatively anywhere on the mountain and are often switch-ridable.
Splitboards for multiple-day tours
The splitboards in this category are specifically designed for multi-day tours where the ascent is the main focus. They are extremely lightweight and aimed at maximum hiking efficiency. Ideal for those who want to cover long distances and elevation day after day.
What length splitboard do I need?
The length of your snowboard is determined by your height, weight and personal preference. Below you'll find a size chart that helps determine which splitboard length you need. Note: it is purely a guideline. The table is aimed at male all-mountain snowboarders. You can assume the same length up to four centimeters extra.

For more explanation on why you might opt for a slightly longer or shorter board, see our buyer’s guide ‘Which splitboard suits you?’.
Do I need special bindings for a splitboard?
Yes, for splitboarding you need special bindings that have ride and tour modes, for climbing up and riding down. Additionally you need a ride and tour interface to attach the splitboard bindings. More information about splitboard bindings and interfaces can be found in our buyer’s guide ‘Which splitboard suits you?'
Can I splitboard with regular snowboard boots?
Yes, many splitboarders use standard snowboard boots. There are, however, dedicated splitboard boots with a stiffer sole and better hike performance.
Is everything included with the board?
No, the splitboards on this page are sold separately. Sometimes skins, interfaces and/or crampons are included. This is stated in the product description. If you prefer to buy a complete set, check out our splitboard sets.
