Simplification and escapism are the core themes of Rome's Uprise Split Snowboard. With a light and stable design, this backcountry beast gets us away from the resort crowds with ease. The board's rocker-to-camber profile not only blasts through the steep and deep with undeniable float, but its steady shape also ensures sure-footedness on the skin track ascent. After our smooth stride uphill, included Karakoram clips snap the splitboard together for a rattle-free ride.
