100% Made in France at the foot of Mont Blanc!
The Plum Talps is neither a pure freeride nor a pure all-mountain board. It is a high-quality splitboard that has been specially developed for steep slopes and < strong>challenging freeride tours. With a sophisticated construction and light materials, it offers you optimal performance on both the ascent and descent.
Made in the heart of the French Alps, in the Chamonix region, Plum relies on the highest quality and local craftsmanship.
The small company has been active in mountaineering since 1930 and consequently has a great deal of experience in the mountains.
The company was founded by the Félisaz family and incorporated in Plum in 2008. The material must be durable and lightweight.
In the Mont-Blanc valley, the bindings and splitboards are manufactured in the company's own production facility.
Engineers, project managers and technicians are involved in producing these top-level bindings.
One of them is Tal (see picture below). He is the developer of the PLUM binding and also a leader in splitboards.
If you want to meet him, he comes to our splitboard event CTM every year.

The Talps offers with its large radius unbeatable edge grip in hard snow and also for sometimes unavoidable
long traverses.
This large radius also allows you to drift without oversteering, guaranteeing you perfect control over your board.
Its shape and stiff flex guarantee reliability and responsiveness in all conditions.
Thanks to its rockered nose and the clearly defined pin tails (where the tip is wider than the end of the board), the board glides effortlessly through deep snow and gives you that extra surf feeling.

Steifer Hobel oder Big Mountain Board
Ich fahre das Board nun die zweite Saison, in jedem Gelände, vom Stadthügel über die Alpweide bis auf den Walliser 4000er. Je nach Stimmungslage oder Bedingungen bezeichne ich es als steifen Hobel oder echtes Big Mountain Board. Im engen Gelände (halb eingeschneite Blockfelder, Wald, Forststrassen) ist es eher träge und auf pistenähnlichem Firn oder Hartschnee kommt mit 20m Radius kein Carvinggefühl auf. Switch fährt es sich aufgrund der Form und Tailbiegung auch eher schlecht. In eisigen Steilhängen ist das Board aber ein Traum. Solange Skifahrer hochkommen, kommt man mit dem Talps dank seiner Steifigkeit und des geraden Schnitts (und allenfalls noch der Harscheisen) auch hoch. In der Abfahrt bringt man richtig Druck auf die Kante und das Board flattert nicht. In weiten Powderhängen fährt sich das Board grandios, da man dank seiner Spurtreue viel Speed aufnehmen kann und auch durch Bruchharsch pflügt man schier mühelos. Um als perfektes Big Mountain Board durchzugehen, müsste das Talps noch ein wenig leichter sein. Sobald man das Teil am Rücken aufbindet und die (Eis)Kraxelpartien beginnen, macht sich der Unterschied zu einem klassischen Tourenski/Pinbindung-Satz deutlich bemerkbar.
