Not with that one in particular but splitboards in general have less torsion stiffness and is not as good as a normal snowboard on icy ground, in speed and for freestyle. But they are nice to have on a long trip if you don´t want to go with skies... And they work ok in powder.

@john a:

I think he's talking about the kitesurfing variety.

I know Kinsley Wong has these in stock at his store in Pismo. You could maybe ask his wife Jamie for a review. I've been very interested in trying one of these for a long time because I've been traveling a lot lately, but they're pretty expensive...custom made from Italy.
