Im looking into buying a board to convert into a split for touring/mountaineering and backcountry only. Should I go with the A-Frame or Element? I'll be carrying 50+lbs. pack and gear on a trip to Mt. Elbrus for an 8,000 ft descent and have no experience with a split other than holding one. (venture, which seems entirely too heavy)

If I could afford a prior I wouldn't be looking for an a-frame or an element to convert! Thank you for your answers but they dont answer my question.

I agree with Kev, don't sacrifice an Arbor board for a split. Look into your convo. kit for a split to see if they have a suggestion. If your first tracking, you got to get skins, plus a big pow board should do you no harm on the descent.
