Traverse Splitboard

$849

The Traverse is built for the skin up and the ride down in equal measure. A directional backcountry shape with a supportive flex, it climbs efficiently and then rides like a proper solid board once you clip back in — no compromise float on the descent.

Demo shop — checkout is not wired. Free binding mount on every board.

Highlights

  • Splits into two skis for touring; clips into one solid-feeling board for the descent
  • Directional hybrid camber: float on the up-top snow, drive on the firm skin track
  • Pre-cut skin tips/tails and standard split hardware compatibility
  • Paulownia-light core keeps the climb honest without going noodly on the way down

The verdict

A splitboard that doesn't make you pay for the up on the way down. It skins efficiently, transitions without a fight, and — the part most splits get wrong — actually rides like a real board once you're back in one piece. Your passport to the quiet snow.

Who it’s for

  • Backcountry touring and earning your turns
  • Splitboard-curious riders stepping out of the resort
  • Mixed days: a firm skin up to soft snow on top

Not for: Resort-only riders — a solid board is stiffer, cheaper and simpler if you never leave the gates.
