Rescue Gear / Snow Study

Backcountry skiing and splitboarding are exhilarating winter sports that take outdoor enthusiasts into remote, unmarked terrain, allowing them to explore pristine snow-covered landscapes. Skiers use specialized equipment that can switch between uphill and downhill modes, while splitboarders split their snowboard into skis for climbing and rejoin for descending. These activities offer a unique and adventurous way to escape crowds, connect with nature, and enjoy the thrill of carving through fresh powder, but they also demand a strong emphasis on safety and navigation skills in the wilderness.
