Looks like a touring adapter for a pair of skis with alpine bindings. Also has permanent plastic crampons by the look of it.
Can't see them or the rider's knees lasting long.

Luckily their 60 second ski base repair kit is a far more substantial offering. The video is 1:56 long and mysteriously stops at 1:55 when a triangle of filler pops out of the repair - whoops

The avalanche ribbons don't seem so bad now.

@DB,
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@Grinning, there is a part of me that actually questions why can't this work - if its an exothermic reaction that takes places and the powder and the liquid end up with a material that has similar properties, and binds to the rest of the material as a ski repair candle then why not

@extremerob, The resultant filler material looks too brittle.
The mechanical binding between the damaged base and the filler looked non-existent. Better preparation of the damaged base would promote better binding but that is the same for any filler, p-tex or otherwise.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Looked like baking soda and superglue! Never going to stay stuck to a base!
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Same product, another video - much better job - still undermined by the Meccano touring adapter.
They also sell a kit containing a rip saw and some zip ties for snowboarders who want to try touring but don't have a splitboard.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

If you built the touring adapter out of some better materials I think it could work very well. Looks much better than my home built securifix copy (in the days before the alpine trekker existied).
Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

DIY split board kits have been around for 20+ years....never included the saw, but normaly came with something more substantial than zip ties. Helped assemble a few in Whistler in autumn of '98..... all worked well enough (always soft snow that winter).
