Help me understand something, oh great EYT braintrust.
I see lots of turn-earning snowboarders hiking with their snowboards on their packs. Why is this preferred over dragging the snowboard behind you on a tow rope? (Obviously these are folks for whom splitboarding isn't an option.)
Does it flip over too much? I can see twisty singletrack thru trees being an issue. But for wide open areas with firm snow, it seems like walking would be SO much easier without all that weight swaying around up high. What am I missing?
