Prior Backcountry Splitboard - 2011/2012
Earning your turns has never been this fun! The Prior Backcountry splitboard gives self-propelled backcountry freeriders and explorers the means necessary to conquer fresh pow. Backcountry splitboard works best in powder, crud, hardpack, crust—all winter snowpacks. Hybrid rocker design features a rockered tip and tail combined with a subtle camber between the feet; tip and tail are reinforced so you'll have the confidence to go big. Hybrid rocker lets you take the board into deep powder without worrying about the tip diving down; subtle camber provides an effective edge length for quick turns. Tip-to-tail wood core: durable, vertically laminated aspen with maple hardwood stringers provides forgiving flex for edge control and solid turns. Core is wrapped with stitched fiberglass running in 4 directions; carbon stringers create a stiff, responsive and lively board. Traditional sandwich construction directs energy to the edges and keeps power loss to a minimum; rubber foil damps vibrations. Rugged, lightweight sidewalls offer low resistance and take a beating; 22° bevel on outer edges and 0° bevel on inside edges. Sintered graphite base is incredibly fast and hard; plus, it retains wax well and maintains a tough finish. Highly durable steel edges surround enitre board and deliver biting turns. Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Light Rail bindings and Voile Universal Splitboard hardware kit for Burton sold separately. Skins and crampons available separately. The Prior Backcountry splitboard is handcrafted in Whistler, BC, Canada. .
