What is splitboarding?

First of all, a splitboard is a snowboard that splits in half length-wise to allow for enhanced mobility while climbing up a slope. When the splitboard is split in half, you adjust the bindings so the setup looks just like a ski setup. After you split the board, you put climbing skins on the bottom of the splitboard to give you traction on the snow. After reaching the top  of your destination, you remove your feet from the bindings, remove the skins and then put the splitboard back together. Once the splitboard and bindings are reassembled, you snowboard down the mountain.
