Amplid

Light on the ascent, surfy in powder: the Amplid Surf Shuttle promises maximum fun in deep snow with minimal weight on your feet. But how does the splitboard perform under real conditions in the Swiss Alps - from icy crossings to fresh new snow? Our test shows where the board shines and where its limits lie.

If you want to buy a new splitboard today, you will inevitably be confronted with one of these terms, namely when choosing the suitable or desired shape of the new sled. The list is so long that we cannot and do not want to provide an all-encompassing overview, but we have taken a quick look at the field to help you make sure that your new splitboard suits you and your tours to some extent.

The Covid season was a successful one for splitboard manufacturers, that much can be said for this winter. Due to the lifts being closed in many places, the run on splitboards was large and sustained. As a result, Amplid, for example, sold its splits like hot cakes and another production series has been added. Our partner store splitboards.eu also reports a similar run

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.
