Verdict: Nitro Vertical

The Nitro Vertical Split is Nitro’s most aggressive splitboard — a stiff, precise board designed for riders who want to charge hard on firm alpine terrain. The camber profile and stiff flex create a board that locks in on hardpack and demands technical commitment. Compared to the Doppelganger, the Vertical is stiffer and more demanding; compared to the Squash, it’s a completely different riding philosophy. Buy the Nitro Vertical Split if you’re an advanced-to-expert rider who primarily rides firm, open alpine terrain and wants a board that rewards precise technique. Skip it if soft snow or playful riding is your goal — the Vertical’s stiff character is best utilized in firm, technical conditions.
