T-Rice Gold Member Splitboard

Why limit yourself to riding technical lines at the resort when you can unlock everything the backcountry has to offer on the Lib Tech T.Rice Goldmember Splitboard? Unlike the chattery, unstable splits of yesteryear, this board is a powerful, stable beast built for tackling serious big mountain lines, and its ultralight construction makes getting to the top easier than ever.

Stability and lightning-quick response are both crucial when navigating treacherous big mountain terrain, so this board is equipped with an aggressive C2x profile for enhanced power, precision, and edge hold. Magne-Traction edges further improve edge hold by creating extra contact points, so you can maintain grip on windblown summits. Its pointed nose, notched tail, and slightly set-back stance enhance drive and float when you're surfing the deep stuff, but the board is still twin enough to ride switch when launching 180's off natural hits.

The secret to the Gold Member's ultralight feel is Firepower construction. Not only is it a more sustainable way to build snowboards, but it also ensures the lightest, snappiest ride possible. Basalt replaces toxic fiberglass to give the board a livelier feel. Spin-Slim tip and tails reduce swing weight for ultra-smooth rotations and an incredibly light and snappy feel underfoot. The Bio Bean topsheet is made from castor beans instead of petroleum-based plastics to reduce environmental impacts while still keeping the board strong and poppy. Added carbon keeps the weight down while keeping the board plenty responsive and stable. It's all held together with Karakoram clips, which actively pull the two halves of the board together for a less chattery ride.
