Untouched powder, zero lift lines, and absolute silence. This is the promise of the backcountry. But to get there, you need gear that performs two completely different jobs: it must act as a lightweight, efficient touring ski on the ascent, and fuse together to become a rigid, high-performance freeride deck for the descent. At The Drop, our Splitboards collection focuses on the undisputed kings of the niche, providing you with hardware that makes no compromises on either side of the ridge.
Jones Splitboards: Pioneering Freeride Performance
When your goal is steep technical terrain and aggressive charging, Jones Splitboards stand alone. Founded by backcountry icon Jeremy Jones, the brand focuses on dedicated splitboard engineering rather than just cutting solid boards in half. We stock flagship models like the Solution—the world’s best-selling freeride split—and sustainable chargers like the Stratos Split and Mind Expander Split. Featuring proprietary Traction Tech inner and outer edges for gripping icy skintracks and Karakoram hardware for a bombproof downhill connection, Jones decks are built for those who prioritize the descent above all else.
Burton Splitboards: System Integration & Simplicity
For riders who want a seamless, intuitive touring experience, Burton Splitboards deliver unmatched system integration. Burton utilizes their unique Split Channel mounting system, allowing for the fastest, most micro-adjustable stance setup on the market. We carry versatile shapes from their Family Tree line, including all-mountain daily drivers like the Hometown Hero Split. These boards focus on lightweight, durable construction that makes the uphill glide feel effortless, paired with Directional Camber profiles that offer stability and float when you finally rip skins.
Your Complete Backcountry Setup
Remember, a splitboard is only half the battle. You will also need splitboard-specific bindings (or interface kits), collapsible poles, and climbing skins correctly trimmed to your board’s dimensions.
