The Evolution of Hardboot Splitboarding:
For years, splitboarders looking for the perfect balance of touring efficiency and downhill performance have had to modify ski boots to work with their setups. The Key Equipment Disruptive Boot changes that. Built specifically for splitboarders, this boot eliminates common issues like heel lock failures and stiff, unnatural flex, delivering a responsive and natural ride straight out of the box.
Since picking them up in November, the Disruptive Boots have become my go-to choice for both guiding and personal missions. Whether navigating steep couloirs, deep backcountry powder, or long technical traverses, these boots handle it all. With an optimized walk mode, precise flex profile, and durable construction, they are hands down the best option for serious splitboard mountaineers pushing into big terrain.
If you’re looking to take your splitboarding to the next level, ditch the ski-boot mods and check out the Disruptive Boot—designed from the ground up for splitboarders who demand the best.
A Successful Hiking Guide Skills Course in the Duffy!
Recently, VIBE had the privilege of running a four-day Hiking Guide Skills course in the breathtaking Duffy region. With clear skies and stunning alpine vistas as our classroom, four passionate guides honed their backcountry skills, including navigation, pacing, rescue scenarios, and tarp setups. The camaraderie, dedication, and enthusiasm of the group made this course an unforgettable experience. We’re excited to bring similar training opportunities to Vancouver Island, fostering the next generation of confident and skilled hiking guides. Stay tuned for future adventures with VIBE!
