What is a splitboard snowboard?

Splitboard snowboards are specially designed boards that have a split down the center, allowing them to be separated into two halves. They are used for backcountry snowboarding and mountaineering, as they can be easily converted into skis when needed. Splitboards come with special bindings that can be switched between snowboarding and skiing modes, as well as specialized skins that can be attached to the bottom of the skis for uphill travel. With a splitboard, snowboarders can explore remote areas that are inaccessible by traditional lift systems, and enjoy the solitude and freedom of backcountry riding.
