The Venture Storm Split was developed in conjunction with Silverton Mountain, & tested in Colorado's rugged San Juan Mountains. The Storm is a deck that craves big lines & burly terrain, & is chatter proof when bombing open steeps, but agile enough to navigate tight trees & narrow chutes without flinching. Its moderate taper, softer surf inspired nose & flat to rockered profile provide float for untouched powder fields, while a stiffer midsection & tail lend stability & control in unpredictable big mountain conditions. Like all Venture splitboards, the Storm features a full wrap steel edge on each board half & comes with the Voile hooks/clips. Super tight alignment in ride mode translates into enhanced performance & that "solid board feel" Venture is known for.

Venture make their own poplar/ash composite cores, producing lightweight boards without sacrificing durability, resilience, or performance. Poplar lends lightweight strength, while ash provides impact resistance & durability. Venture incorporate ash strips at the edge & under the inserts, where impact & stress are greatest. This strengthens the areas that take the most abuse, & translates into better edge hold on icy slopes. Full-length wood laminates
- no finger joints & no off axis grains
- ensure even & consistent flex from tip to tail, & a core that won't break down over time. Quadratic sidecut: Helps distribute pressure evenly on the snow, resulting in increased stability. It loads the board further from the waist than circular/radial sidecuts, enabling you to achieve smooth, solid turns. Triaxial fibreglass: Fibreglass is aligned with the direction of torsional stress, resulting in superior torsional stiffness & rock solid edge hold. Perfect on a rockered board.P-Tex sidewall:A tough-as-nails material that provides bombproof durability, & increases the life of the board so it can be ridden for several seasons without a loss in performance. Durasurf sintered base: Extremely durable base with outstanding wax absorption properties for a slick, fast ride. Inlaid base graphics: Boards with inlaid base graphics have an advantage over printed graphics because with inlay, the base material bonds directly with the other components, rather than with a weak layer of ink. The result is a more durable & attractive base. Because Venture swap the spare parts from one base with those from another, they are able to use materials more efficiently & eliminate waste. Mellow Rocker profile: Flat in the middle with subtle lift on the tip & tail, it delivers a more playful, surfy feel while maintaining rock solid edge hold.
