In this video I'm getting my Jones Solution out for my first split boarding adventure of the winter. I'm up snowboarding with my friend Chris who has the new Jones Solution and testing it out for the first time. One of the challenges of split boarding is remembering how to ski through some of the short downhill traverse sections. This split boarding mission will take us to some the of best powder on Whistler mountain in an area called Flute bowl. This is a safer area of the mountain to practice with the new split board setups. If you have any questions about split boarding you can leave them in the comment. Thanks for watching!

Just got my Jones Solution today. Just set it up and saw your video it’s my first split board so Im stoked. Hiking meets snowboarding. Guys I think with COVID this is the year of the split board. Post more splitboard videos!!! Kevin I’ve modeled my quiver after your boards the GNU Headspace and Orca you rocked it last year they were great recommendations. I love those boards! So I’m following your lead now with the Solution too. If the Solution is a winner your recommendations are a triple hat trick! Thank You! Kevin and Chris keep your videos coming! Get TJ out there!

[@ChocCad1905]

I got my first Splitboard too. The board store sold like 3x their normal amount and had sold 70% of stock by the end of May. Everyone was stocked for the BC but in the end a 115 day lockdown had us confined to a 5km radius of home and 1hr of exercise per day. 6 months till the return of Winter and counting the days.

Love watching all of your adventures! I am just now really getting into snowboarding myself I am on the East coast and seeing all of your adventures has really given me motivation to get out there and push myself! Also your tutorials have really helped

Chris and his rope giving some hardcore boondock saint vibes. "Alright' get your stupid f**king rope then."

Love the Boondock Saints “rope” reference! 😂 classic!!

Kev this season you're rockin' much more stylish gear than usual

[@JoeClarkVideos]

the powder as always! great riding!

[@christianaitchison3017]

It looks so awkward when snowboarders ski😂

[@lynxone9434]

Ikr

[@TheGrundigg]

It's more the awkwardness of skiing downhill on skins with your heels detatched. Even on ski touring evryone looks like it's their first day of pizza learning. Apart from some of the crazy dudes who learned on telemark skis...

[@goodridevibes]

So much work getting up there, but so worth the ride! 🏂

[@ellstackeradventures]

it looks like you're a skier I love it

[@inmotion_snow]

cant wait to split board again! a proper adventure that is

Looks like so much fun!!

[@anthodu1765]

You guys are so lucky to snowboard! ski resorts are still closed in France, should have reopened a month ago... i’m affraid that we cannot ride this year again because of covid... ;-(

[@TheGrundigg]

We just went over to the swiss side, Valee de joux had some great powder and for bigger resorts it was Villars Leysin with some dodgy curfew racing back in France haha.

[@SirShoX0r]

Chris constantly looks high, I don't know what he takes, but he takes a LOT of it!

Cool vid, quick tip you'll conserve more energy if you don't lift your feet while in split mode. Slide and glide baby!

Where's a good place to find people to ride with? If you go riding solo ?

Wanna see a rider turn to skiier vid. Itd look FUNny hahahaha

[@1onfire619]

Do you need to take off the skins when "skiing" down? Or do you leave them on?

[@TheGrundigg]

For short runs and on softer snow it's ok to leave them on.

[@alecchrz]

i can not explain how bad i need to have snow like this rn so i can go do this

[@gymmy972]

I am 5’ 9” 180 lb, I am looking at a 154 and 156 cm 2021 Capita DOA. I want to improve my switch riding and learn 180’s and 360’s on jumps. Also I’ll add that I am athletic, lean, and wear a size 9 to 9.5 boot (9.5 in Vans boots). I also only get to ride about 6 days a year (Texan). Any advice?

[@TheGrundigg]

Move to a better place xD

[@ezranieber7115]

Hey, I gotta question u prolly won’t respond but... i wanted to buy crab grabs but idk if i should buy man hands or punch mitts. anyone got any ideas.

Punch mitts have been one of my favourite pairs the last few years!

[@turq57nomad]

Dumb question... do you have to take the skins off every time you have to ski down hill?

Yep, you need to take camus off

[@marcuswang1]

i've always wondered. how does split board compare to snow shoes when walking or hiking up the hill. It seems to me snow shoes could be more agile. But split board is a thing I have no experience on. If you would to travel through a snow packed uphill, which one would be faster or easier?

[@inmotion_snow]

snow shoes are indeed more agile, but you would have to carry your board and i guess more work on the really deeper days, which is when splitboarding would shine in my view as it spreads the weight out

[@TheGrundigg]

Skinning is much faster and less tiring but needs some technique and the equipment is expensive.

[@YTFelix-gl9ek]

Hey...can u ski with a split board

[@rushthezeppelin]

I wouldn't be dropping at the same time if y'all are in unmitigated terrain. Both of y'all get buried and those BSPs are worth their weight in dirt.

[@mrmojohh9499]

Really though, especially with this seasons extremely high avi risks. This was a bit ignorant.

[@rushthezeppelin]

@@mrmojohh9499 I guess it's really bad up in Canada too? It's super bad here in Colorado. We've got a super nasty persistent slab problem caused by a freaking foot of facets on almost all of our snowpack.

[@AttackOrBlock]

I agree with you if they were dropping into some of the steeper stuff of flute bowl, such as the main face. But from where they were riding, it seems like it was pretty low angle terrain.

[@rushthezeppelin]

@@AttackOrBlock keep in mind the GoPro effect. It was likely steeper than it seemed on camera. Not sure if it was above 30* but if it wasn't it wouldn't hurt for them to mention that.

[@AttackOrBlock]

@@rushthezeppelin totally, more avalanche awareness is definitely a good thing. Especially with more people getting into the backcountry this year. I know this area well though and it’s super low risk. Avalanche instructors actually take their students here for AST 1 courses. But I agree, the decision making process wouldn’t be a bad thing to include.

[@tarikfr1873]

Kevin i noticed you lift ur ski's when ur touring, that will waist ur energy..!!

[@dustynauramenko6993]

Stick to skiing and quit calling yourself a pro!
