Salomon Highpath Split

A conventional two-piece split for a varied winter: the Highpath Split is Salomon’s versatile touring option with Rock Out Camber. Precut skins are part of the offer, which changes a price comparison with a board alone.

Is the Salomon Highpath Split 26/27 right for your tours?

Freeride splitters facing mixed conditions get a directional board described as firm. The profile pairs a flat section between the bindings with camber near the feet and rocker at both ends. Its emphasis is less strongly on a long powder nose than the Taka. A useful comparison would use your own boots and equivalent sizing.

What should you consider on the ascent?

Plum connectors and precut Pomoca skins are part of the touring package. A complete binding is not automatically included. Confirm your binding interface and practise fitting the skins before the first tour.

How do you choose suitable length and width?

Current sizes are 156, 159 and 162 cm. The table associates width, radius and net weight with each length. Start with suitable boot overhang and rider range rather than simply selecting the lightest number.

How do boots, bindings and skins work together?

Start by matching boot fit, board width and lateral support. An oversized boot loses support before pressure reaches the edge. For the Salomon Highpath Split, we would prioritise heel hold and a highback suited to your weight over choosing the stiffest possible binding. Playful downhill handling need not mean a setup that collapses sideways on a traverse. Practise both touring and riding modes with your actual interface and its specified screws. Plan suitable skins too: length, width and nose and tail fittings need to work together.

Which of our test experiences help you?

We have not yet tested the Salomon Highpath Split ourselves. Our advice uses current manufacturer information and our Gear Guide principles. An older model introduction provides history rather than our own riding test. Manufacturer-shop customer ratings are not used as our editorial scores either.

For a demo, start with a suitable size and your own boots. Check whether you can apply pressure comfortably in slow turns as well as at speed. After a longer climb, consider whether width and flex still feel manageable. A consistent setup is more useful than comparing random boards with very different lengths or stance settings.

What has changed since 25/26 and earlier models?

Salomon currently includes this model in its regular range. The manufacturer page does not identify a separate technical redesign for 26/27 or a complete change list from 25/26. This page is therefore our guide for the 26/27 season rather than a claim of a newly developed annual model. Compare the actual generation, length, width, hardware and package contents. A new graphic or different price alone does not establish changed tuning.

What is included in the price and what else do you need?

Salomon specifies Plum hardware and precut Pomoca skins. Account for those when comparing a board-only price. A complete binding is not thereby promised; the Premiere also needs components matched to its four-piece arrangement.

Which alternatives should you compare?

Compare Salomon HPS Taka Split 2.0 and Radical Rider Splitboard 4.0. The riding-style differences are discussed above. Use comparable sizes and your own boots on a demo where possible. A different stance or substantially softer binding can change more than a small dimensional difference between boards. Decide by how well the setup suits your usual tours.

FAQ: What should you know before the first tour?

Are the Highpath’s sustainability claims unambiguous?

Salomon’s introduction and feature list give different recycled-base percentages. We therefore do not make a definitive 100-percent claim for the entire build. Biobased resin and material percentages are individual specifications, not our own life-cycle assessment.

Which size and width suit me?

Current sizes are 156, 159 and 162 cm. The table associates width, radius and net weight with each length. Start with suitable boot overhang and rider range rather than simply selecting the lightest number.

Have you tested this model yourselves?

We have not yet tested the Salomon Highpath Split ourselves. Our assessment uses manufacturer data and our Gear Guide; we do not assign riding scores to it.
