Shorty B.C Splitboard

Bought the 164 Wide Shorty BC in December 2023 and been enjoying it in the Alps ever since. I‘m glad that the board is wide enough to work with my size 12 boots. The short tail really helps for balanced weight distribution and easy turns in powder. 100 % recommended!

I got the advice to buy the shorty 164 in stead of the 159 and I have enjoyed the shorty a lot this winter and during the late season in Jotunheimen and Rondane. The first days at the lizumerhutte in Austria I had to adjust the plum bindings settings which was really easy to do out in the mountains. After that my control of the board increased rapidly after not having snowboarded for a few years. The last day of the beginner Splitboard course we went down a mountain with powder more than 60 cm deep, most of the other group members where drowning but with the shorty I was floating on the powder and felt euphoric which I had not felt in a long time. During late April, beginning of May, I was in Rondane and jotunheimen , the shorty performed excellent in the most crappy conditions but I still had the time of my life on the loftet and rondeslottet mountain. So I am looking forward to improving my skills and having the time of my life splitboarding on the shorty in the mountains.

The shorty is the all around quiver killer! My first turns on the shorty were powderful. Face shots, high speeds down in kootaney National Park in Canada, and they were amazing. I was floating in a dream for 1100m of cold canadian powder. I kept riding the shorty and really put its name as the all round quiver killer to the test. It handled a variety of different conditions from cold smoke powder to icy bed surfaces and solid surface crusts, punchy crusts and sastruggi(my favourite word for snow) which is hard wind pressed and scowered snow. It ski’s well too, which is something that is very important to me on a splitboard. When touring the nose being the bigger feature of the shape has a tendency to dip down slightly, but not as if it were heavy. It almost reacts like my ski just needing a slight nudge to get that tip into my hip for kick turns. The shorty had the opportunity to come with me on two of my dream lines close to home. I was incredibly stoked to have something so unique riding these big rockies faces. Mt whymper south east face and carnervon south east face were hard packed for most of one of the runs and I fully trusted the board to hold on. The shape maneuvered with ease in big alpine terrain and was responsive to my every need. If your looking for a board that's versatile for everything from floating epic powder or crush exposed steeps, this is the ride for you!

Strålende fornøyd med Shorty Backcountry Split! Bra flyt i løssnø og takler også litt hardere forhold helt supert <3
