Will's Mind

Pretty much anything on Spark R&D founder Will Ritter's mind this month.

Feature: Bucket List

We talk to Spark R&D ambassador Frankie Devlin about his best splitboarding trip, ever. A few years back, Frankie went to Denali for 25 days - and make the summit twice. We cover the ups and downs - and some details to think about before planning an expedition trip like this one.

Tool Belt

I think everyone can agree, more people are heading to the backcountry this season than ever before - beyond the gear and the knowledge to use it - an essential skill is understanding avalanche conditions for the area you plan to go out. In this segment, we talk about some of the resources available to splitboarders to make the experience safe.
