    摘要: Snowboards and splitboards having a contact length less than or equal to 65% of the length of the snowboard or a contact length equal to or less than half the length of the snowboard are disclosed. In some embodiments, a peak of a cambered section is aligned with a horizontal midline of the snowboard. In other embodiments, a peak of a cambered section is aft of a horizontal midline of the snowboard. Optional features of the snowboards and splitboards include bi-lobed tips, bi-lobed tails, touring tails and/or dual recurved tails.

    摘要: A mechanically propelled snowboard for recreational enjoyment includes a board and a propulsion assembly. A pair of bindings that is coupled to the upper face of the board is configured to couple to feet of a user. The propulsion assembly is coupled to a frame that is coupled to the board and extends from an upper face proximate to a tail section of the board. The propulsion assembly comprises an engine, a pair of wheels, one of which is operationally coupled to the engine, and an endless track that is operationally coupled to the pair of wheels. A lower limit of the endless track is substantially coplanar with a lower face of the board. The engine is positioned to rotate the endless track to propel the board along a surface. A controller is operationally coupled to the engine and is positioned to selectively throttle, brake, and shift the engine.

    摘要: Some embodiments disclosed herein provide an apparatus for joining two skis to form a splitboard. The apparatus can comprise a first attachment portion configured to attach to a first ski and a second attachment portion configured to attach to a second ski. The first attachment portion and the second attachment portion can be configured to engage to prevent splitboard skis from moving up and down relative to each other, from moving apart in a direction perpendicular to a seam of the splitboard, from sliding relative to each other in a direction parallel to the seam, and from rotating about the seam of the splitboard.
