Started by snowboarders who wanted more from their gear.
In November of 2007 the idea of Karakoram spawned from a single turn.
A dawn patrol, a two hour skin up. I dropped in… My board’s anemic response to my first heelside turn was all it took. The turn happened so much differently in my mind. On the drive back down Little Cottonwood Canyon I called my brother, Tyler, and told him I had an idea. For two years we designed, prototyped and refined our revolutionary Active Joining technology, a system to spring-load board connections to give direct power transfer to the edges and instant response, the key elements in making a good turn. In 2010 we released Active Joining to the world with the Split30 System and Splitboard Clips, followed up with our Prime System in 2014, UltraClips in 2016 and TipLocks in 2018. We found our splitboards to be more responsive than our solid boards, so we brought Active Joining to solid snowboards with our Quiver-Connectors and Connect bindings. To this day we are still focused on the turn, the essence of snowboarding. The connection between rider and board is paramount. We are proud to make the best turning bindings. In Washington produced. Locally supplied. Backed by the Karakoram Guarantee.
