Borealis Alpine Pro Splitboard

The Borealis Alpine Pro holds on to the throne of BEST BIG MOUNTAIN 2023 splitboard for yet another season. As a board developed to enjoy great big days on big mountains, the Alpine Pro is born from the collaboration with French freerider Clément Bochatay, and it clearly reflects what we can expect from a splitboard focused on riding big lines with confidence. Having said this, looking at its nose, we can see a much more versatile shape that we would have thought to begin with. Its directional twin shape- setback 20 mm-, traditional camber and rocker under the nose and the tail make up a board that performs really well in all sorts of terrains and conditions. The Alpine Pro is a super solid, stable board at high speed on gnarly terrain and irregular snow, a feature that would have you thinking mostly of big lines. However, it is a most polyvalent agile splitboard, which also allows you to approach the mountain in a more creative way. The Sidewaves -smooth disruptions along the sidecut, provide that extra control and edge hold, turning it into a perfect splitboard to ride the most exposed lines. Recommended for advanced riders and solid, aggressive riding. https://www.splitboardmag.com/products/splitboards/borealis-alpine-2022-23/

Why we chose the Borealis Alpine Splitboard: An absolute workhorse in the backcountry for big days in big mountains. Reliable, durable, and insanely shreddable. Who Is The Borealis Alpine Split For? It was first designed as a solid snowboard in collaboration with Borealis team rider and Freeride World Tour athlete Clément Bochatay for the kind of descents that would shrivel the burliest of ballsacks. It’s a purpose-built big mountain charger, and in its split form it sets you up well for long days on the skin track and far-out alpine peaks, but the rewards aren’t just reserved for the furthest peaks – it’s a pretty great option for all manner of tours. https://whitelines.com/snowboard-gear/reviews/snowboards/borealis-alpine-split-2021-2022.html
