Most splitboards feel awesome surfing backcountry pow, and the Mega Split is no different, it just does it better than most... It's really light on the way uphill, and coming downhill it doesn't feel "fluttery" even on variable or hard-pack snow like you might expect from a lighter board. Thank you CAPiTA— and carbon fiber. With a comfortable setback stance, this light AF split floats like a cork in deep snow, and thanks to it's twin shape you can still try that cab 5 you've been trying to land for ages... Now this board's home is in the backcountry, but the litmus test for me is skinning at the resort where I encounter crud, crap, bumps, and push piles. After 3-4 resort summits, I had my stance, clips, hooks, and bindings adjusted so I could take the Mega Split to all my favorite side hits and bump runs and ride it just like my solid board. If you can make a split perform like that at the resort, the potential is unlimited in the backcountry. I'm not worried about variable snow out there, the Mega can handle it.
Make sure you invest the modest amount of time to perfect your stance and snug up the clips and hooks. My recommendation, pair the Mega Split with Union Chargers and violent amounts of vertical feet...
