Burton weirdly makes each equivalent size of the HTH 2 cm bigger for the split version, e.g. the solid comes in 156 and 160, the split in 158 and 162. A solid 162 would be a lot of fun to play around with, although sidecut's little tighter than I'd want for a daily driver.

I have a 162 split I haven't put to snow yet that looks and feels fun. Soft between the feet, pretty hearty in nose and tail. Lots of camber underfoot (although the solid seemed to have bit less camber). Looking forward to trying it, although I wish they had about a 165 with a standard-ish waist... no one seems to build a split in the 164-165 range without sasquatch waists.

I have @Shredder 's old one still, its an easy riding board thats good at just about everything. Could use a bit more oomph in the tail.
