Splitboarders who want fast, reliable transitions will appreciate the Black Diamond Ascension Splitboard Skins. These trim-to-fit climbing skins use a glue that holds firmly on the climb and peels away cleanly at the top, with durable hardware at both ends. Less time wrestling skins at the summit means more time riding.

Why we like it:

The rip. Black Diamond's adhesive is tuned to let go quickly at transitions, so switching from climb mode to ride mode goes fast, even with cold hands.

Features and Functions:

Black Diamond builds the Ascension Splitboard Skins around its Gold Label glue, designed to stick when needed but rip quickly when it's time to switch from climbing to riding. The tip and tail hardware are built for durability and adjust to suit your board's length, and the skins are made to be trimmed to width so each half matches your split's profile. Black Diamond lists the set at 790g. These skins are aimed at backcountry riders who put efficiency and smooth transitions first.

Bottom Line:

The Ascension Splitboard Skins are a dependable, efficiency-minded choice for splitboarders who tour regularly. Trim them once to your board and they're ready to climb whenever the snow is good.
