I mean, quiet seriously impressive and an amazing shot. Many thanks. Got the message and the purpose of the board. But the path downwards, hard to get get this. I mean , is this the purpose of snowboarding? Turning on the spot, grinding down the stone hidden line? Mostly the same way I have destroied my Stratos board last season here in less snow country Switzerland. Applause.
Just curious about how the edge hold when this deck finds you edging across an iced over 30 + degree face. Riding in the PNW i encounter this a bit cruising up Hood (im describing not the best days to tour and im surely not the describing the best line up, but it happens out there). The board seems like your marathon day touring deck for various conditions riding down, but really curious about the climbing capability in shit snow, if it benefits the rider who wants to venture out and is ready to pull the axe but has a bit more confidence in the boards edge hold. Hope that makes sense. Keep pushing!
I might be looking for the impossible but what Splitboard would work best for a 220-230. Lbs rider for pow? They have seems to have an advised max weight of 200 max
It's a sweet board don't get me wrong and I definitely appreciate and understand the advantage of going lighter, but not sure I buy the statement that a 30% reduction in board weight = 30% more energy to climb. Sure grams add up but I don't think weight reduction has a direct inverse correlation to energy expenditure when we're talking about the difference between 6lbs board (Butterfly) and 7lbs board (Hovercraft). Maybe it's more of a big picture statement in regards to lightening your whole kit.
A couple of pounds shaved does not mean you can do another lap of 2,000 feet. It's all about fitness level. Sure light is good. Started backcountry in 1987 way way before most of these so called experts and had tons of light and heavy setups.
I love the butterfly shape, but too bad boards of ultralight series are for the most experienced riders, which I am not. Would it be even possible to make butterfly for tourers, softer with camrock, etc?

Wow that was insane!

Indeed, since you are still moving your own bodyweight up every single vertical meter.

Is Jeremy crazy? How was that fun for him? That was next level scary !
What’s the point of hiking it up if you can’t glide it down??
doesn't make sense to me as well. but that's what he has done his entire life...

How can you talk about weight with such conviction but still be running soft boots and Karakoram’s?
