Amplid Tour Operator Splitboard
Description
The Tour Operator is built as a do-it-all backcountry splitboard that leans toward durability and versatility rather than ultralight grams. It rides smoothly downhill, handles varying snow well, and is solid enough to take repeated abuse.
On the descent you get dependable edge hold even in hard or chopped snow. The board uses rocker in the nose combined with long camber underfoot for a classic feel: responsive in turns, stable at speed, forgiving but not sloppy. Its taper is modest, and the shape is nearly symmetrical, so it’s one of the better options in the split line if you want to hit switch turns or throw in freestyle backcountry pop.
Uphill, the Tour Operator is no featherweight, but it’s well balanced: the climbing aids and insert placement are thought-out, making traverse and tight switchbacks manageable. The topsheet, base, and edges are built tough: thick bases and edges, reinforced structure, impact protection, and good hardware make it one that will last.
Construction highlights include the “Knuckle Sandwich” build, basalt suspension strips for vibration damping, a lite wood core, sintered base, and strong tip/tail connectors. The board is offered in a range of lengths (e.g. 148-162 cm) with waist widths around mid-260s in larger sizes, flex/torsion in the medium-stiff range.
This is for intermediate → advanced riders who want one solid splitboard that can do everything: mossy forests, crust, pow, and skin tracks—in short, someone who values durability, versatility, and a reliable ride over absolute uphill speed or feather-light gear.
Bottom line: The Tour Operator is the dependable workhorse of the Amplid line—built tough, rides clean, handles mixed conditions without drama. If you want one board to cover most of your backcountry life and aren’t obsessed with shaving every gram, this is a strong pick.
