Splitboard Selection Advice

Choose the Squash close to your usual all-mountain length. Waists run 25.3 cm on the 156, 25.7 cm on the 159 and 26.8 cm on the 163, so riders with large boots should look at the 163.

Pre-cut Nitro x Kohla skins match each size and attach through the tip and tail; they are sold separately.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Nitro Squash Splitboard?
The Nitro Squash Splitboard suits riders who want one board for powder and firm snow. Full camber and a progressive sidecut carve on hardpack, and the wide nose, swallowtail and 25 mm setback float in soft snow.
What bindings and skins work with the Nitro Squash Splitboard?
The Nitro Squash Splitboard uses the standard splitboard insert pattern, so it takes splitboard-specific bindings that switch between tour and ride mode on puck or interface hardware. Standard solid-board snowboard bindings are not compatible. Pre-cut Nitro x Kohla skins attach through the tip and tail holes; skins are sold separately.
How stiff is the Nitro Squash Splitboard?
Nitro rates it 7/10, an all-terrain flex with pop and response that still bends at moderate speed.
What does the progressive sidecut do?
The radius changes along the edge, 8.4 m toward the nose and 6.4 m underfoot on the 159. Turns start smoothly and tighten as you load the board, which helps it accelerate out of a carve.
Which Squash size should I ride?
Most riders choose their usual all-mountain length. Use the waist to check boot fit: 25.3 cm on the 156, 25.7 cm on the 159 and 26.8 cm on the 163.
Why camber on a powder-shaped split?
Camber grips better on icy skin tracks and firm descents. The swallowtail and wide nose handle the float, so the Squash covers both conditions.
