Before you decide to sell an arm and a leg for a new split setup, you might want to reconsider your options for human powdered pow turns. The Drift Carbon Boards combine elements of snowshoes and touring skis for an ascent tool that's turning heads on skin tracks everywhere. They're lighter and more nimble than your average split and easier to trek in than snowshoes. Fitted with permanent climbing skins on the bottom and a minimalist composite binding, it's only a matter of snow till your backcountry aspirations become a reality!
