A tapered directional shape running 308-256-290 mm at 157 cm carries 18 mm of taper and a multi-radial sidecut that tightens to 6.7 m underfoot, so a wide nose does the floating while the board still comes around in tight trees. At 2,776 g per board in a 157, with a paulownia and poplar core stiffened by vertical aluminum stringers and a carbon layup, the Backwoods Carbon suits long tours, multi-day traverses and storm days where the objective is snow rather than steepness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan\u003eRatings and sizing guidance verified against manufacturer specifications.\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"ccbb-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eIs This the Right Splitboard for You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-grid ccbb-grid-2\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-card\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-card-title\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-quick-answer\"\u003eRiders who tour long distances for powder, want a wide nose and heavy taper for float in trees and deep snow, and value 2,776 g per board in a 157 over maximum stiffness.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-card\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-card-title\"\u003eConsider Another Splitboard If\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-quick-answer\"\u003eYou ride mostly firm snow, want a stiffer board for high-speed steeps, or prefer a longer sidecut for open terrain.

size first, because the size run widens fast. The 157 runs a 25.6 cm waist and caps at a US 10 men's boot. The 160 moves to 25.9 cm and a US 11.5. The two wide sizes jump considerably: the 163W sits at 27.4 cm for boots up to US 13.5, and the 167W at 28.1 cm for up to a US 15. A rider with a US 12 foot who sizes on weight alone into the 160 will drag heel and toe on a hard traverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe heavy taper changes how the board wants to be ridden and set up. With 18 mm of taper and 10 mm of setback already built into the shape, there is little reason to move the stance further back, and doing so pushes the nose rocker out of the snow rather than into it. Skins are pre-cut and sold separately: the 157 and 160 take Splitboard Skin 3, and the 163W and 167W take Splitboard Skin 5, so a skin set does not carry across a size change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eSize and setup guidance reviewed by CCBB splitboard staff.

A tapered directional shape at 308-256-290 mm carries 18 mm of taper and a multi-radial sidecut tightening to 6.7 m underfoot, so a nose built for float still turns inside a tree run, and camber underfoot with a full inner steel edge keeps the board honest on a firm traverse. At 2,776 g per board in a 157, the paulownia core with vertical aluminum stringers and a carbon layup is what makes the distance possible. Size it on boot width rather than rider weight, because the run widens quickly above the 160.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weston","offers":[{"title":"157","offer_id":48876661637277,"sku":"27.006.045.157","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"160","offer_id":48876661670045,"sku":"27.006.045.160","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"163W","offer_id":48876661702813,"sku":"27.006.W45.163","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"167W","offer_id":48876661735581,"sku":"27.006.W45.167","price":1349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/weston-backwoods-carbon-splitboard-topsheet-and-base-view_f622f6dd-3f6b-4dfc-b911-98e71300dbc7.jpg?v=1788905278","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/weston-backwoods-carbon-splitboard-1","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
