How to use your splitboard?

Before you start 

Your split is in the downhill position, so it is in snowboard mode.
To switch it to the uphill position, you will have to split it in 2 and turn it into 2 skis :

1/ Release the rear latch to remove the bindings
2/ Open the hooks at the nose and tail.
3/ Slide the skis together vertically, to free the hooks and separate the sides.
4/ Reverse the skis. The hooks should be on the outside.
5/ Mount the bindings in the mounted position, with the buckles on the outside.
6/ Also tilt the spoiler of the binding in the up position to have more rearward travel so that you can extend the pitch.
7/ Put the skins on the soles of your skis
8/ Set your poles

You can start your ascent!
