Description
But why did we move the straight edge to the valley floor?
As with the rest of our splitboards, the Sakon splitboard allows us to avoid inverting the two halves when climbing. But why is this necessary? The valley deck is the hardest to grip because it’s further from our balance point. Therefore, we shift the curved edge to the uphill deck (closer to our balance point) and the straight edge to the valley deck to compensate for its greater distance.
Furthermore, we must remember that this improved grip on the valley ski makes the “turn” safer and more efficient, where the support is fully on the valley ski. Very important: It is recommended to skin without inverting the two halves once you have experience skinning and are already doing it with both skis parallel in a more instinctive way. It is not advisable not to invert them when following a skier’s tracks, as the narrower tracks could make it easier for the two halves to collide.
