Splitboarding allows you to go where most snowboarders cannot. It gives you the freedom to head off the beaten path and explore remote wilderness on your own terms.

Take advantage of the variety

With a splitboard, you can either ski with the individual pieces or put them together to snowboard. Get tired of one and switch right on over the other.

Fantastic exercise

Splitboarding is a challenging sport. In order to enjoy great downhill runs, you have to put in the climbing work first. It’s a great way to get outside and keep in shape during the year’s coldest months.

More Info

A splitboard is basically a snowboard that can be disconnected in order to form two skis. Splitboarding became popular in the mid-1990s as a way for snowboarders to more easily reach backcountry destinations. Just like ski touring, splitboarding is hard work and involves climbing up hill in skins or crampons as well as going down. Splitboarding takes you away from crowded ski resorts and allows you to explore remote winter landscapes in a way that would not be possible with a traditional snowboard.

for Backcountry skiing in Rishiri

I had a great time with Wataru, very nice and experienced guide. He brought us not so far away in

a quiet and beautiful area of Shirebitsu with tons of magical snow. If I could, I would go back tomorrow! Thanks again to your platform.

Julien for 1-7 days Sapporo Based Backcountry Skiing

Amazing experience. Took 5hrs to summit. Cloudy and little wind made it easier. Skies opened up 100M from the top.

We summited and then we skied fresh powder into the crater. Well worth it.

Nikolay Pavlov is an experienced guide with intimate knowledge of the terrain and conditions in Bansko. A great half day

Perttu Prusi for Bansko guided freeride ski and snowboard tour

We had a great trip to Rishiri! The snow gods were not on our side but Rishiri is a mountain

of many slopes and aspects and thanks to a great guiding team we always managed to find good snow! Toshi ran a great operation with 3 other guides which meant we were split into two groups with a max of 9 per group and two guides. This allowed the group to be split even further on the day… Special thanks to Shohei and Kosukei – very professional guides!! Arigatou-gozaimashita!!

Paul Johnston for Backcountry skiing in Rishiri

Should have extended each day by at least 1 run

Philippe Fatzer for 1-7 days Sapporo Based Backcountry Skiing

Nikolay is an awesome guide who is clearly very experienced. We planned to climb+ride Todorka in late January but due

to snow storms and high winds we had to postpone the trip. However as soon as the conditions had improved and the avalanche risk was manageable Nikolay called me to say its game on for tomorrow if that works for me. We had an awesome day riding and I learnt so much from Nikolay about Avalanches, exposure and climbing. Would definitely recommend! Cheers!

Jake English for Bansko guided freeride ski and snowboard tour

I would like to give Naoki five stars out of five. He was just great: professional, safety first approach, helped

us with our splitboards, found great terrain and was very friendly and kind during the hole day!

Alex for Niseko, Rusutsu and Sapporo backcountry ski tours

I can not rate Toshiya because he was not our guide. Our experience was marred by a void of

communication prior to the trip. We never recieved email or other communication prior to our trip, despite frequent requests. Simple questions like, “Do we need crampons?” were unanswered. The day before our arrival, we called Toshiya (whos phone number was being withheld). He was unaware of what day we were visiting, he did not know how many days or how many people in our group.

Craig for Backcountry skiing in Rishiri

Truly excellent guide, with unique knowledge of backcountry spots for freeride and touring. Extremely nice guy too.

Anton Arriola for Hokkaido backcountry and off piste skiing

My wife and myself had the wonderful opportunity to spend three days with Naomi Kawata as our backcountry country

guide. First off Naoki is a very easy going person. wen felt at ease with him right away. also he has the right guide qualifications.Safety in the mountains was the number one priority. he is very knowledgeable about anything backcountry (example how to apply your skins when your knee deep in snow} Naoki was able to take us to a mountain where we three were the only people there it was an absolute blast! Naoki took us to a few local restaurants that were amazing. you had better know japanese in these places or have Naoki with you, that’s how local they were. Well to sum it up three great days skiing with an excellent ,extremely versed guide. we will definitely get with Naoki next year. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good safe time.

ed zinnanti and iris zinnanti for Niseko, Rusutsu and Sapporo backcountry ski tours

Great for experienced backcountry ski/board tourers. Daisuke looked after us very well. We experienced some of the local culture

going to onsens and restaurants after a hard day on the snow. The yakitori stand at the end of the first day was a real treat.

Jim MacLean for Guided off-piste skiing in Vallee Blanche (Aiguille du Midi)

Really enjoyed a day of off piste with Mathias. We were lift-serviced with some short hikes and traverses and found

plenty of fresh powder! If you are honest about what you want, and your group’s abilities, then Mathias will create an experience that works!

James Campbell for Kitzbühel Freeride ski with a guide

I am really, really happy with both Explore-share.com’s service and their recommendation of guide Benjamin Souflot. Benjamin was extremely

personable, and more importantly knowledgeable. Benjamin recommended where to rent ski gear and the proper gear for the day. He had crampons for my boots, ropes and other safety gear needed. I showed up at the meeting spot early, and Benjamin was already there waiting. On the gondola ride up to Aiguille du Midi, he talked safety and what to expect. When we got up to the top, it was very windy and intimidating. As Benjamin prepared the gear for our descent, he talked safety, strategy and was reassuring that it would be a fun, safe adventure. As I look down the face of the Ridgeline, I became nervous and anxious. Benjamin was very reassuring that it was going to be OK, that I was safe with him and we would make it down. Sure enough, Benjamin literally “talked me off the ledge” and we proceeded down. Benjamin was focused & guided me the entire time. Once we started skiing, Benjamin gave great instructions as to where to ski, what to expect ahead, etc. He was very knowledgeable about the mountain. When we took breaks, Benjamin shared with me interesting facts about where we were, in the mountains France, Italy, Mount Blanc, the crevasses, various peaks, history of the glacier, etc. I had a great experience! I would definitely do this trip again with Benjamin. I would also recommend this trip to anyone else with Benjamin and your company, Explore-share.com. Thank you again! -John

Eric Nord for Ski touring and Freeride skiing in Les 3 Vallées

Skiing from Aguille du Midi down to Chamonix has been an experience of a lifetime. We enjoyed the Valle Blanche

breathtaking views all the way down and the best route and ski conditions we could ever had! Our guide provided us with the avalanche material and safety information prior to start the run and shared his knowledge and skiing advice with us during the day. We’d 100% recommend the activity and our experienced guide Mathis! Having him guiding us made it an incredible day. Thank you so much for the unforgettable adventure!!

Miriam Elizalde for Chamonix Vallée Blanche guided off-piste skiing

One of the best powder days skiing of my life! An amazing combination of couloirs, tree runs and open powder

fields all accessible by lifts. Nikolay is a great guide who judged the abilities of the group and chose routes to suit everyone! Highly recommended trip, excellent value for money!
