Family Tree Hometown Hero Splitboard - 2027

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I brought the Hometown Hero Splitboard on a mixed bag tour, tight trees on the way in and open bowls higher up, and the directional camber kept me stable through variable snow without giving up any float once things opened up. Transitioning at the top was quick thanks to the Split Channel mount, the pucks were already set, so I was clicked back in and dropping before my group even had their skins off. This is my go-to board anytime I'm not sure what the descent is going to throw at me."

The skin track winds through trees before opening onto a wide, untouched bowl, and the Family Tree Hometown Hero Splitboard is built for exactly that transition. At Backcountry, we know backcountry days rarely stay predictable, tight glades give way to open faces, wind-affected snow turns to soft powder without warning, and your gear needs to keep up without asking you to compromise. This board rides that shift without missing a beat.

Directional camber under both feet keeps the board planted and stable through the deep, dodgy turns of mixed conditions, while a rockered nose lifts up top for float when the snow finally opens up. The Freeride Directional Shape centers your stance for a twin feel on flat base but turns tight and quick once you're on edge, giving you a board that reads like two different tools depending on the terrain in front of you. Paired with the Split Channel mount and its pre-mounted pucks, transitions from skinning to riding happen fast, so more of your day goes toward turns and less toward fumbling with hardware at the top of the climb.
