Intro to Splitboarding with Marie-France Roy

Are you getting into splitboarding or are you planning to? Come and learn from veteran splitboarder and Arbor team member Marie-France Roy. She'll walk you through the basics of touring, proper use of equipment, and will not forget about safety.

Marie has been splitboarding for 10 years, so there should be no doubt she knows what she's talking about. In the video, Marie shows tips about gear, insights on technique, and even mentions basic information to assess risk and avalanche safety that you must never underestimate. You'll learn how to set your split to touring mode, what to pack into a backpack, and how to prevent your climbing skins from getting covered in snow/ice.

Splitboarding is fun and full of freedom that gives you the power to conquer the mountains, but as Uncle Ben used to say, it also comes with great responsibility, so any knowledge will come in handy. Check out not only this video from Arbor, but also be sure to take an avalanche course, read up on Jeremy Jones' 5 Red Flags, and stay tuned for a few more tips on how to enjoy splitboarding even more.

Of course, we have a complete range of splitboarding equipment including avalanche safety essentials.
