Moving up to Montana in a few weeks and have been doing a little research on all the off-piece trails they got. Apparently they have developed split boards that allow snowboarders to access all the same terrains as skiers.

Anyone ever used them? How difficult is it to hike in them but more. Important, do they feel extremely different when you're riding them? Any tips or advice would be very welcomed!

That just doesn't seem like it would feel right

Not to be that guy, but back country riding is called "off-piste".

Unfortunately, I've never been, but I can definitely see how the split boards would be helpful.

I watched a documentary on split boarders a few weeks ago. Looks awesome. Early in the evolution of the split board they had problems with materials and the boards weren't structurally sound when placed under extreme areas. As the Materials evolved, the boards got stronger and stronger. I'd definitely look into it if I didn't live in Baton fricking Rouge.

Snowboarders are dirty, filthy hippies.
