Check out our buddies at Phantom Splitboard bindings!

When the skins come out, the bindings go away!

Phantoms are designed to stow away when touring to save swing weight. They fold up nice and flat and fit in a space smaller than your skins. Also, it is what gives the Phantoms their name. As I passed people on the skin track last year, most would ask "Where are your bindings?". Now I can just say, "yeah, they're Phantoms...."


Little side note:
The skins shown are the new Gecko Skins for Splitboards! I had a chance to demo some at the Silverton Splitfest. I got hooked and picked up a pair for the Venture Storm. Even though they are fitted to the 170, they are still lighter than my skins for my 160! Light and glueless, I like it.

We agree! "Sexiest touring setup.."

Sexy is not an adjective normally associated with any aspect of Ski Touring. Excessive sweating, smelly socks, old European men and unfortunate facial hair (on ladies) are what normally spring [......
