Best Powder Splitboard
Lib Tech Orca Techno Splitboard
This is Travis Rice’s dream machine built for swimming through oceans of backcountry powder. It features a wide Orca nose, directional shape, 1.5in of setback, and a waist width of 26.5cm because this whale loves breaching the surface. To keep the weight low Lib Tech made this board of with an 85% paulownia, 15% FSC®-certified Aspen core, then wrapped it in unidirectional carbon, a 30° carbon mega X, and magnesium fiber bands to increase performance and stiffness. This is the needle-threading, couloir-climbing, pillow-dropping precision marine mammal of your dreams.

Weston Rise Women’s Splitboard
Whether you’re seeking steeps, cliffs, or pow-filled tree lines, the Rise Splitboard is built for the task. It’s a true all-mountain splitboard with a traditional camber profile, a rockered tip and tail, and a directional twin shape for those of you who occasionally switch it up (intentionally or not). 20mm of setback helps keep the nose above frozen water, and the touring bracket is set forward so the tail drops easily when you’re doing kick turns. The core is made of sustainably-harvested poplar and paulownia while carbon stringers run throughout, so the board is light for the ups and a pure joy on the downs.
Nitro Cave TLS Step On Women’s Snowboard Boot
A collaboration between Nitro and Burton, the Nitro Women‘s Cave TLS Step On® Snowboard Boot delivers convenience and comfort like you’ve never experienced before. An armored spine, flex link design, and anatomically shaped molded baseplate all ensure a stiff flex, which translates to turn-on-a-dime responsiveness. And new for this year, the boot has been upgraded with a BOA® ankle strap for extra foothold and support.
Burton Step On Women’s Splitboard Binding
This binding represents the natural evolution of snowboarding gear toward simplicity, ease of use, lower weights, and higher performance—and now this tech is in its second year of availability on touring gear. Step On and go means less sitting in powder, faster transitions, and thus more laps. Plus, the strapless design reduces wear on the boot and gives you a super efficient stride when you’re skinning.

Jones Stratos Splitboard
The Women's Stratos Spliboard is an all-mountain ride with several features that point to some extra powder abilities. First of all, it has a directional freeride shape with 10mm of taper. And secondly, the rocker profile and the setback stance keeps more board in front of you than behind you. This all means the nose will remain above the surface and the tail will dive just enough to optimize stability in everyone’s favorite condition. As for the uphill? At only 5.94lbs in a size 149, this board is light enough to ensure your quads have plenty of power left by the time you’re dropping in.
