GNU Banked Country Split 2026

The GNU Banked Country Split is a lightweight backcountry tool built for efficient climbing and smooth powder riding. Its directional geometry, floaty nose and mild taper help it stay composed in deep snow, while the Paulownia and Aspen core keeps the board light on the ascent.

Underfoot, the C3 profile combines camber beneath the bindings with rocker between the feet for responsive turn initiation, pop and added float. MagneTraction® provides secure edge hold, and Karakoram Ultra Clips help create a solid feel and quick transitions. It suits riders seeking a refined, powder-focused splitboard for demanding touring missions.
