When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

The Gnu Banked Country Splitboard Temple and Cannons Banked Country split is a truly enchanting transformation. What was once a remarkable resort carving pow destroyer has now evolved into a lightweight climbing, powder, and adrenaline access tool.

This splitboard boasts a dramatically refined directional geometry and shape, featuring a floaty nose, gentle taper, and the winning side cut of the Banked Slalom. It also includes the unique progressive teeth in the tail Magne-Traction, ensuring smooth turn entry and exceptional hook-up at the end of each turn.

Thanks to its lightweight Paulownia core, this splitboard effortlessly carries you up the mountain and delivers an incredibly smooth ride in powder.

The Karakoram Ultra Clips firmly lock everything together, allowing for exceptional board feel and seamless transitions.

Painstakingly refined and rigorously tested by our experts, you can rest assured that this is the perfect board for exploring Banked Country.
