The Weston Backwoods Splitboard is a soft-snow-centric board designed to confidently manage backcountry terrain: from wide-open powder fields to narrow trees. The board has a directional, multi-radial, camber-rocker profile. That means the board isn't symmetrical, with a wide nose and narrow tail. The wide nose helps with flotation in deep snow while the narrow tail improves the board's agility in tight terrain. The multi-radial (the turning radius increasing from tip to tail), camber-rocker shape further helps the intent of the board to be able to handle both big arching powder turns and tight narrow tree turns. The Backwoods is built from the Slayer Wood Core, which is comprised of bamboo and poplar - a combination used to find a balance between energetic and damp. Two vertical carbon stringers are added to maintain the board's profile and add energy to the shape. This board is scaled as a 7/10 flex by Weston, with its focus being Powder and Freeride. Coming in at 7.63 lbs, the board is light enough for all-day backcountry travel. If you are looking for a backcountry specific splitboard, the Weston Backwoods is your one-stop-shop. Its shape and construction give it the destiny of human-powered, soft-snow surfing. Backed by Weston's 4-year warranty, it's hard to say no to this Backwoods Beast.
