Frontier 2.0 Splitboard 2027 FAQ
Is this board good for backcountry beginners?
Absolutely. It's built with a 2 out of 5 flex rating, which means it's forgiving and responsive without demanding precision. On the Frontier 2.0, that playful feel paired with a directional tapered shape makes it easier to pick your line in variable snow and stay confident when conditions shift. It's designed exactly for riders moving from resort skiing into mountain touring.
Why does this split board float so well in powder?
The nose lifts earlier than the tail thanks to a tapered directional shape combined with rocker at the tip. On the Frontier 2.0, that upturned nose shape keeps the board from diving into deep snow, so you stay higher in the fluff with less effort. Pair that with a 9 out of 10 deep powder rating, and you'll understand why it's built to surf powder effortlessly.
What's the 3D Flip Tip and does it actually help?
It's an upturned contour molded into the tip that works together with the rocker profile. On the Frontier 2.0, this shape lifts the nose in soft snow and helps the board pivot smoothly in tight terrain or when you're cliffing. It reduces hang-up and gives you more control when you're charging steeps or navigating couloirs.
How much do these boards weigh, and why does it matter for touring?
Depending on size, you're looking at 3.1 to 3.6 kilograms. In splitboard terms, that's light but not minimalist. On the Frontier 2.0, the weight sits between playful edge control and climbing efficiency. You climb faster and with less leg fatigue than heavier all-mountain boards, but you're not sacrificing stability or pop on the downhill. It's tuned for riders who value both uphill and downhill performance.
What makes this board durable for backcountry use?
The topsheet is bio-plastic from castor beans, designed to resist scratches and dings from rocks and sticks. The core blends premium Paulownia and Poplar in a 2 to 1 ratio, built specifically for splitboards to handle repeated locking and unlocking. On the Frontier 2.0, sidewalls and edges are recycled ABS and recycled steel, paired with a fast sintered base that holds wax well. It's built to absorb abuse in the backcountry.
