Ask any splitboarder what would make their life easier, and the answer will usually be the same: a lighter setup for the way up that still rips on the way down. Each year, tons of work goes into cracking this particular nut, but few have managed it quite like the Amplid Milligram.
These days it’s undergone a bit of a facelift, borrowing elements from the now-retired Millisurf, including the urethane-coated inner sidewalls. Those ensure that both halves fit together perfectly in riding mode, and stay that way until you’re ready to transfer again – a process which, thanks to the skin-hook holes in the nose and tail, couldn’t be easier.
Overall, though, it’s got the same weight-saving properties that have made it a hit for years – from the insanely light core to the carbon laminates. The topsheet even reflects heat, preventing snow from sticking to it and adding unwanted grammes for the skin up.
When you’re all about shaving weight, there’s always going to be a little bit of a trade-off in terms of stability when riding, especially in crud or heavy slush. But our tester’s verdict was that it was one worth making, and would opt for this over the alternative every time.
