Verdict: Prior Khyber Split

Prior Woodworks hand-shapes boards in Whistler, and the Spearhead is their high-performance alpine touring split. The carbon reinforcement and stiff flex make it a confident charger on steep descents. Compared to the Cardiff Goat, the Spearhead is slightly less light but equally stiff and fast — and it’s made in North America with strong custom sizing options. Buy the Spearhead Split if you want a custom-built, high-performance splitboard and value supporting a smaller manufacturer. Skip it if you need immediate availability or after-sale support in Europe — the Cardiff Goat or Jones Ultralight Stratos are more accessible at the same performance level.
