Fjell MT1180 Hokkaido Split – light, agile and the perfect splitboard for deep snow
The Fjell MT1180 Hokkaido Split is designed for the rider who wants to test the true potential of snowboarding in deep powder and challenging mountain terrain. This board is optimized specifically for soft snow and powder fields — inspired by the legendary Hokkaido snowfields in Japan, as its name suggests. It's an extremely buoyant, lightweight and reactive splitboard that works perfectly in forests, open powder and long skinning routes.
The strength of the MT1180 Hokkaido is its easy handling and light movement on snow. The directional shape, long nose and clear rocker make the board easy to control even in deep snow, and the camber profile underfoot ensures grip and balance in varying conditions. This makes the board as confident on the descents as it is on the ascents — where lines can vary from open powder fields to dense forests.
Fjell's craftsmanship ensures that the MT1180 Hokkaido Split is not only a lightweight splitboard, but also a long-lasting and reliable companion for those who spend their winters in the mountains and in nature's conditions.
Features and technical structure
Directional freeride format
A longer nose and shorter tail ensure buoyancy and agility. This design makes the Hokkaido especially effective when navigating powder and dense trees.
Rocker–Camber–Rocker profile
– Rocker nose adds buoyancy
– Mid-range camber increases stability, control and traction
– Tail rocker makes turns easier and makes the board more forgiving
This profile offers the perfect combination of floatation, stability and playfulness.
Lightweight and reinforced core
Fjell's hand-built wood core combines lightness and stiffness, providing a responsive feel and excellent energy transfer. The splitboard's edges and critical areas are reinforced to withstand the harsh wear and tear of the mountain environment.
Excellent balance of grip and buoyancy
Although the MT1180 Hokkaido is designed for powder, its camber and strong edge grip ensure control even on icier surfaces and technical spots.
Optimized climb behavior
In split mode, the board is light, balanced and energy-efficient to ride. The MT1180 Hokkaido is designed for long climbs and steeper routes — it makes skinning natural and stable.
Norwegian quality
Fjell manufactures the board in small batches in Norway, using high-quality materials and with precision that shows in every detail.
Who is the Fjell MT1180 Hokkaido Split suitable for?
This board is the right choice for the rider who
– looking for a super-floating splitboard for deep powder
– wants an agile and light board for forest skiing and soft slopes
– appreciates the combination of stability and flexibility
– wants one board that can be used for all-day mountain trips
– expects reliability and Nordic quality from their equipment
The MT1180 Hokkaido is the perfect companion when you're looking for that board that takes your skiing experience to the next level — especially for those soft snow days you don't want to miss.
Shape: Directional
Core: Tip to tip full poplar wood
Base profile: Rocker nose, camber
Base: Sintered formula sole
Flex: stiff flex
Topcoat: Eco Epoxy resin
Length: 150cm
Weight: 3 kg
Lightweight, short and wider splitboard with a dual purpose. MT 1180s HOKKAIDO rides exceptionally well in powder due to its «volume» and wide measurements – in addition to the tapered shape. A wider width and longer height of the nose, together with the rocker front makes sure the ride is fast and steady. Wide waist and tapered tail helps the board sit well onto the surface which gives quick turns and perfect response. The camber and stiffer flex in addition to the small radius moon tail, provides easy edge to edge control. The board behaves responsive and playful, and still manages to be reliable in shifting conditions such as shifting from powder to packed snow. The stiffer flex makes the MT 1180s HOKKAIDO steady throughout the entire turn, and gives stability in high speed due to its short length.
A lively board that brings satisfaction to all types of riding.
Light weight makes the hike easy. Easy to attach even when it snows sideways. The board is compatible with all split board bindings and skins.
Choose from rinding with bindings or next level feel of binding less with the included Eva foam pad. Attach the Traction pad easily and turn the board into a binding less option.
MT 1180s HOKKAIDO nose and tail, together with the concave shaped and grippy pad, adds a fun riding option for powder snow, recommended with at least 20cm fresh snow. Fully steel edged board lets the rider maneuver precisely and with a surfy style and feel.

What should you consider when choosing snowboard boots?
A few questions to consider before buying snowboard boots
What is the difference between Boa tightening and traditional laces?
Boa
- Tightening is done quickly by turning the roller
- Can be adjusted even with gloves on
- Provides even tightening across the entire shoe area
- Some models have double Boa (separate upper and lower adjustment)
Traditional ribbons
- A cheaper option
- Gives the user maximum adjustability
- Many find the laces more flexible and have a more natural feel
In short: Boa = fast and effortless. Laces = precise and customizable.
What is the flex of a snowboard boot and how do I choose it?
The hardness of a shoe tells you how stiff or soft the shoe is when moving.
Soft (1–4) Beginner, park - Easy turns, comfortable and forgiving
Medium (5–7) All levels - Versatile all-mountain
Hard (8–10) Advanced, freeride - Sturdy at high speeds and on slopes
What is the difference between Deeluxe and Vans snowboard boots?
Deeluxe
- Known for its technical fit and ultra-precise heel hold
- Lots of options in different flex classes
- Heat-moldable liners in many models
- Especially popular in the European market and among professionals
Vans
- Soft and comfortable fit from the start
- Excellent shock absorption (Vans Waffle soles)
- Skate-style feel, a favorite of many due to its comfort
- Especially suitable for park and all-mountain content
In brief:
Deeluxe = technical fit & performance.
Vans = comfort & a softer skate-style feel.
How do I choose the right size?
The size of snowboard boots may differ from normal sneakers. Please note:
- The toes should lightly touch the tip of the shoe, but without pain.
- The heel should remain stationary during turns (no lift)
- Heat-moldable liner adapts to wear
- We recommend following the size chart of each manufacturer (Deeluxe, Vans, etc.)
How warm are snowboard boots?
All snowboard boots are designed for winter use, but differences arise:
- About the insulation of the inner shoe
- About the structure of the base
- About breathability
If you get cold easily, choose a model with:
- thick inner shoe
- thermoformable lining
- EVA sole material
Can I wear snowboard boots while walking?
Yes, but they are not designed for long walks.
Snowboard boots provide support and traction in the snow, but are more cumbersome than winter boots.
How do snowboard boots shape up during use?
Most shoes soften and shape over a few days of use.
Heat-moldable liners can be shaped in the store (in a heat oven), which immediately improves the fit.
Do all snowboard boots fit all bindings?
Generally yes.
It is important to choose:
- Compatible shoe size and binding size
- Correct stiffness that matches the landing style
How do you care for snowboard boots?
- Dry at room temperature (not on a radiator)
- Check the laces or Boa system regularly
- Remove the liner to dry.
- Avoid filling the shoe with water.
Do snowboard boots have to be the same size as street shoes?
Not always.
Many models recommend going a half size or a full size smaller than normal.
For example:
- Vans: often true-to-size
- Deeluxe: often slightly smaller and more precisely fitted
Always check the manufacturer's table.
