Manufacturers description
The Backcountry Splitboard is the original Prior Splitboard model. Season 2013 marks the 14th season that the BC Split has been in the Prior line; the reason for its longevity is simple. Its classic freeride shape makes it a timeless versatile backcountry tool.
It has a directional freeride shape that delivers a smooth, fast stable ride in all winter conditions. Its moderately long sidecut provides maximum uphill efficiency and edgehold through varied conditions. Minimal taper promises extra power and drive off the tail to catapult you through turns with extra energy and speed. Since pairing it with the Hybrid Rocker Profile, it now floats in pow better than ever.
This board is ideal for directional freeriders looking for confident variable snow performance. From big mountain shredders to progressing backcountry explorers. This is the go to board for splitboard guides making a living in the backcountry.
XTC Carbon Construction is available as an upgrade to all Prior splitboards and saves an average of 600 grams (1lb 5oz) off a Prior splitboard pressed with our standard quadraxial fiberglass.
Profile: Hybrid Rocker Profile provides floatation and predictability in powder and silky smooth transitions edge-to-edge with excellent edge control. 2-4 mm of traditional camber underfoot provides energy from turn-to-turn.
Rider Type: Self propelled backcountry freeriders, guides, explorers and multi day trekkers whose styles are geared towards big treks, fall line speed and large arcing turns.
Best For: Fall-line speed, powder, crud, hardpack, crust, all winter snowpacks.
