Product details

With backcountry access points around Big White and Silver Star just outside town, Kelowna riders have some of the best skin-track terrain in the Okanagan right at their doorstep — and the Vertical ST is built for exactly that kind of day. This splitboard-specific binding, co-developed with Spark R&D, pairs a stiff, responsive Tesla T1 platform with a fast, reliable hike-to-ride transition, so you spend less time fiddling at the top of the skin track and more time on the descent.

FAQ

Q: How do I know if these bindings are compatible with my splitboard?
The Vertical ST mounts using Spark R&D's puck interface (Standard Puck or Canted Puck, sold separately) rather than a standard Channel/2x4/4x4 pattern, so compatibility comes down to matching the right puck to your splitboard's hardware. Bring your board into either Fresh Air location and our team will confirm the right setup for you.

Q: Do I need to get these bindings mounted, or can I install them myself?
We recommend having your bindings professionally mounted in-store. Our team will make sure your pucks, stance width, and angles are set up correctly for a stable, reliable connection on the skin track and the descent.

Q: What flex rating is right for my riding style and ability level?
The Vertical ST carries a stiff response rating of 8/10, built for riders who want power transmission and support for backcountry, freeride-style descents rather than a soft, playful flex. If you're not sure whether that stiffness suits your riding style, our team can walk you through the trade-offs in-store.
