Backcountry touring has become a standard part of my snowboard experience, but I don’t do it enough to justify splitting my existing setup, which I ride at the resort. Enter MTN Approach’s System 3, an easy-to-use touring setup that gets me into the backcountry without having to use cumbersome snowshoes or buy a splitboard. Here’s how it works: the system includes skis that fold into thirds and pack down into the included pack. The skis have climbing skins permanently attached, which were super effective getting me uphill and not overly grippy when traveling cross-country.
