Weston Japow

While it is designed specifically to excel in deep snow, the Japow is surprisingly versatile. The camber profile and Slayer Core provide enough stability and edge hold to handle groomers and variable terrain when you're transitioning between powder stashes.

The swallowtail design allows the tail to sink in deep snow, which naturally lifts the massive rockered nose for effortless float. It also makes the tail feel loose and surfy, allowing you to slash turns and maneuver through tight trees with ease.

The Japow features a medium-stiff flex. This provides a responsive, energetic feel thanks to the bamboo stringers in the core, giving you the power needed to charge through crud while remaining manageable enough for playful riding.

Yes, it is built for the rigors of backcountry exploration. It features a sustainable castor bean-based topsheet that resists damage and robust UHMW sidewalls designed to withstand impacts, backed by a 4-year warranty.

The Sintered Durasurf 4001 base is high-performance and durable, but like any sintered base, it performs best when waxed regularly. Keeping it well-waxed will ensure you maintain the speed and glide necessary for deep powder days.
