Hello. I would like to see splitboarding added as an activity type. Although similar to backcountry ski in regards to metrics, terrain and general activity type, splitboarding is not the same activity as backcountry ski. As a life long snowboarder and splitboarder, I would appreciate the option to track my backcountry snowboarding activities with the same metrics utilized for backcountry ski but differentiated as they are different user groups. Marking splitboarding activities as a snowboard activity does not necessarily provide accurate/pertinent information relating to the activity type. If Pilates gets it's own activity type, I would think splitboarding deserves it's own activity type. I greatly appreciate any feedback on this topic. Thanks!
I would like to see splitboarding added to the list of activities. Garmin already has backcountry snowboarding on the list and it works like backcountry skiing. On a splitboard, we cannot compare ourselves to the performance of skiers, because their equipment is much lighter and thus there is no chance to place in the segments
Impossible to compete on any segment due to material difference in equipment weight. Also for those who practice both it would be great to be able to track performance across both sports
I would agree. Backcountry Snowboarding or splitboarding is an entirely different sport. Honestly, it's slightly painful to choose backcountry skiing when snowboarding in the backcountry.
I don't just Backcountry Snowboard or Splitboard, but sometimes I Backcountry Ski in addition to Snowboarding and Skiing at resorts. I would like to be able to differentiate between each of those four options so that I may compare and keep track of the data for the corresponding sport. Currently we can differentiate between Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding, so there should be an option to differentiate b/w Backcountry Snowboarding or Splitboarding and Backcountry Skiing.
I will save Pow Surfing for another request once this one is accepted and Backcountry Snowboarding or Splitboarding is added as an activity.
@timetobraaap Hecks yeah to Pow Surfing! I would absolutely vote for that. I pow surf more than I snowboard. Choosing snowboarding as the sport doesn't really work.
It would be nice to compare myself split-boarding up a mountain with other splitboarders and not people in skimo set ups. For uphill skiing, it would be nice to have Skimo, Heavy Metal and SplitBoard options. Heavy Metal is AT binding type set up. SplitBoard is snowboard that splits in half to go uphill.
