Burton Step On Split Bindings: Step into the Backcountry with Convenience
The Burton Step On Split Bindings bring the ease and simplicity of Burton’s revolutionary Step On system to backcountry touring, offering a unique blend of convenience and performance for splitboarders in Millcreek and beyond. Forget fiddling with straps – the Step On system provides a clean and simple boot-to-binding interface. Just step your compatible Burton Step On boot into the binding and you’re ready to ride.
Built on the reliable Spark R&D Tesla T1 baseplate system, transitions between skinning and riding modes are smooth and fast, meaning less time adjusting gear and more time enjoying Utah’s incredible backcountry. The system utilizes secure toe hooks and a heel clip to create a responsive connection to your board, giving you confidence on everything from deep powder to firm snow.
For efficient uphill travel, the binding’s design includes a negative lean highback option via the Quick FLAD (Forward Lean Adjuster), maximizing your stride on the skin track for more comfortable ascents. Notably, the Step On Split is compatible with existing Burton Hitchhiker touring accessories. The baseplate also features an adjustable pivot point, allowing you to customize the binding to your preferred stride in walk mode. Versatility is key, as these bindings are compatible with all puck mounting systems (Voile, Spark, Burton). Built with a durable machined aluminum baseplate (Spark R&D Tesla T1) and a robust heel cup and highback, the Step On Split bindings are designed to withstand the demands of backcountry touring in the Wasatch.
It’s crucial to remember that Burton Step On Split bindings are only compatible with Burton Step On snowboard boots. Ensure you select the correct binding size for your boots using Burton’s size chart, as the Step On system is size and gender-specific. While offering significant convenience, keep in mind that Step On Split bindings are slightly heavier than traditional strap-based splitboard bindings like the Burton Hitchhiker. Finally, if you’re new to the Step On system, there might be a slight learning curve in getting in and out of the bindings efficiently, particularly in deep snow or on uneven terrain.
For Millcreek riders seeking to simplify their backcountry experience, the Burton Step On Split Bindings offer a compelling option. The ease of the step-in system can lead to quicker transitions in Utah’s often variable backcountry conditions. While requiring compatible boots, the secure connection and efficient touring mode can enhance your overall splitboarding adventures in the Wasatch Mountains. Our knowledgeable staff at Salty Peaks can help you determine if the Step On Split system is the right fit for your riding style and backcountry goals.
