Weston Backwoods Splitboard

While it is designed for powder, the board features a cambered profile and a medium-stiff flex that provide reliable edge hold on firmer snow. It is stable enough for icy chutes, though it performs best when you can utilize its float in softer conditions.

Yes, the poplar and bamboo core gives the board a snappy, responsive feel that makes it quite nimble. This responsiveness, combined with the directional shape, helps you navigate tight trees and variable terrain with precision.

The bolt-less base removes hardware from the base material, which creates a smoother, more consistent surface. This design helps improve glide efficiency and prevents snow buildup, which is particularly helpful during long, flat traverses.

The Backwoods is built with a lightweight construction specifically to reduce fatigue during steep ascents. It is designed to be efficient on the skin track, making it a solid choice for long backcountry days where energy conservation is key.

The board includes Karakoram tip and tail clips, which are essential for a secure connection between the two halves. However, you will still need to purchase your own splitboard-specific bindings and skins to complete your touring setup.
