Amplid is adding the Tour Operator to its splitboard range this season. The board should be able to accompany us in any conditions, do its job winter after winter and also come at a fair price. Last winter, we tested for you whether it lives up to Amplid's promises. First things first: the board rides amazingly.

The Jones Stormchaser Split is currently only available in a relatively short length and is therefore particularly interesting for smaller, lighter riders who are looking for a wide, maneuverable board. The shape of the nose is a matter of taste and takes some getting used to on the ascent.

If you delve a little deeper into the subject of splitboarding, you will inevitably come across people who splitboard with ski touring boots: "The dark side of snowboarding", so few people that they practically form their own minority in the already small community of splitboarders.
