Spark R&D

Verts Snowshoe + Adapter

A splitboard is a unique type of snowboard that can be divided into two separate skis for uphill travel, allowing you to "skin" up slopes like a skier. Once you reach the top, you can reassemble the board for an exhilarating downhill ride. This design is perfect for accessing backcountry areas where traditional lifts may not reach.

Spark R&D bindings are specifically designed for splitboarding, offering a lightweight and durable option that enhances your performance on the mountain. They are compatible with splitboard-specific accessories, ensuring a seamless experience whether you're climbing or descending. Their innovative design helps improve comfort and control, making them a top choice for serious splitboarders.

The toe-front design of snowshoes allows the front part to lead during movement, which helps distribute your weight more evenly. This design reduces fatigue and makes it easier to climb steep slopes, allowing you to enjoy longer and more challenging hikes without tiring quickly.

A non-stick surface on snowshoes prevents snow and ice from accumulating, keeping them lightweight and functional. This feature allows for smoother movement and less effort when climbing, as you won’t have to deal with the added weight of packed snow, making your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

A crampon is a traction device that provides grip on icy or steep terrain. While some snowshoes come with traditional metal crampons, many modern designs, like those with nylon crampon material, offer excellent traction without the added weight. This makes them suitable for backcountry conditions, allowing you to navigate challenging terrains confidently.

Absolutely! Many outdoor enthusiasts use both splitboards and snowshoes on the same trip, depending on the terrain and conditions. Splitboards are great for downhill runs and accessing backcountry areas, while snowshoes can be ideal for navigating flat or heavily wooded areas where a splitboard might be cumbersome. Having both options allows for a versatile and enjoyable experience in the snow.
