The Best Splitboard Destinations in the World Bracket Challenge
Yeah, we know there are a lot of different brackets and contests out there. But this one is specifically for the splitboard community! It’s pretty simple, first, we need 16 locations, zones, or mountain ranges. You can nominate an area you are familiar with riding as the Best Splitboard Destination in the World using the form below until Monday, April 13th. After that, the tournament field will be set and we’ll share the voting opportunities on this page and Spark R&D’s social media channels. If your nomination is selected as 1 of the 16 to be in the tournament, you’ll win a pack of Spark swag and goodies. If your exact selection (nomination) wins the tournament, we’ll send you a set of 20/21 bindings next Fall!
