Nitro Squash Splitboard - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying"The Squash Split is built for riders who want to earn their turns without giving anything up on the way down. The swallowtail shape does something special in deep snow — it keeps the nose up and the tail light, so you're floating instead of fighting. The SplitGrip Core Profile actually makes a difference on steep skinning, and the Kohla skin system clicks in and out without drama. This one's for the backcountry days you'll talk about all season."Who It's ForIntermediate to Expert Women's Backcountry SplitboardersBuilt for women who ride the backcountry with intent, the Squash Split suits riders comfortable in variable terrain who want a board that performs on the skin track and rewards them on the way down. The mid-wide width and 7 out of 10 flex make it approachable without sacrificing edge hold or float in deeper conditions.What It's ForBackcountry Powder and All-Mountain TerrainThis board is optimized for deep snow, sidecountry access, and expedition-style backcountry riding. The tapered swallowtail and progressive sidecut handle soft, variable, and crusty snow with control, while Trüe Camber keeps edge engagement solid on firmer groomers when the approach demands it.Why We Like ItSwallowtail Float with Splitboard-Specific EngineeringThe Squash Split takes the volume-shifted swallowtail shape of the original Squash and builds it out for the skin track. The SplitGrip Core Profile thins toward the tip and tail to improve skin adhesion on steep or icy climbs, while the Powerlite Core keeps weight down without sacrificing pop. Forged T7075 Aluminum Hooks stiffen the board halves into a flat, even surface for consistent edge-to-edge feel on the descent. The Nitro x Kohla skin attachment system rounds out a setup that's engineered from the ground up for efficiency.
