Abstract: Splitboard binding systems and assemblies for use in ski mode or snowboard mode. Left and right bottom rails are attached to the bottom surface of a base plate. Each rails may have a circular hook at a forward end for attachment to a toe bracket in a ski mode. The rails and base plate define channels for slidable attachment to “pucks” disposed on the gliding board in snowboard mode. A securing lever disposed near the rear end of the binding with a securing member disposed on the lower surface thereof may be rotated into a downwards position so the securing member resides below the base plate to secure the binding in position when installed on “pucks” in a snowboard mode. Crampon assemblies and sliding heel locks for use with the binding assembly are aso disclosed.

Abstract: A snowboard is disclosed which is comprised of two separable ski members, each having at least one non-linear longitudinal edge, and being adapted for conjoining together to selectively form the snowboard. The snowboard further comprises ski bindings associated with each ski member and a snowboard binding assembly which is comprised of elements associated with each ski member. Thus, boot bindings can be readily positioned between a skiing mode and a snowboarding mode. The ski bindings of the present invention are adapted for both fixed-heel and free-heel binding to accommodate conventional alpine and telemarking skiing. The snowboard bindings may, in one embodiment, be adjustable to position the feet at any desired angle to the board, and even allow the user to select which foot is oriented to the front of the board.
