Our Approach Skis include Skins and Bindings! Free Shipping to the US and Canada.
For years Snowboarders have had two options to access the Backcountry: slogging around on Snowshoes or dropping some serious cash on a Splitboard. The only problems have been that Snowshoes are inefficient and Splitboards sacrifice riding quality for hiking efficiency. That all changes with Approach Skis.
Approach skis combine the versatility of Snowshoes with the efficiency of a Split board. Take any board in your quiver into the Backcountry. Strap a pow surf, resort board, or deep powder gun to your back and you’ll be experiencing the thrill of Backcountry Snowboarding without having to cut your Snowboard in half. Approach Skis excel in established skin tracks, but also do well breaking trail.
Even better, our Approach Skis are made from 100% Recycled Plastic. Each set of skis is made from recycled plastic that was destined to pollute the earth. We combined our 100% Recycled Plastic Approach Skis with Premium Mohair Climbing skins to give them superior grip when climbing steep and rugged terrain.

Reviews
When I first unpacked them they looked like a DIY project. But when you start climping those mountains they are incredible. Quick to strap on your boots and secure grib on the snow.
The one star missing because they loose performance when you transverse a hillside and there is no tracks or very shallow tracks.
These things are great. Put in quite a few days this winter and they work quite well. Ive wanted to get into split boarding for years but didnt want to pay over a grand for a full set up. Not only are these a fraction of the cost, but Ive had these go up angles that the people Im touring with struggle to climb. Get these bad boys in a skin track and it feels like youre flying up the hill, plus kick turns are an absolute breeze. 10/10 would recommend.
My wife uses them to hike up our ski resort in the mornings and she really likes them. She uses them like once a week and really likes them. Tried to get her onto a split before these and she didnt like how much weight was on her feet. Doesnt complain about that anymore.
