Splitboard Italia

Splitboard Italia is the go-to Facebook group for splitboarding in Italy (riding a board that splits into two skis so you can skin uphill): routes, gear, conditions, and safety in snowy terrain. It’s a public group, running for over ten years, with about two and a half thousand members.

A Niche Group with a Seasonal Rhythm

Splitboarding is strictly a winter thing, and the group reflects that: the feed comes alive when there’s snow to climb and goes very quiet in the warmer months. That’s not a sign it’s been abandoned, it’s just the natural cycle of the sport.

With members this specialized, it’s the right place to ask about a route, a binding, or a boot: questions that would get vague answers in a general group.

There’s also a dedicated buy-and-sell section, especially useful for gear that’s expensive new and that you rarely see on display in shops.
