This is a split board for backcountry snowboarding. Climbing skins included and these allow you to hike up the hill. There are metal risers that can be positioned under The binding for efficient travel uphill. One of the bindings is broken so you would probably have to get another one unless you know how to fix it. The whole snowboard setup works well except for the binding straps. This snowboard is for tall people. I am 6 ft tall and it comes up to my neck. I might be willing to bring it to you so you can decide if you want to buy it.
