A tapered directional shape running 312-259-294 mm at 160 cm carries 18 mm of taper across every size, and a multi-radial sidecut tightening to 6.9 m underfoot means the wide nose floats while the board still turns inside a tight glade. At 3,392 g per board in a 160, built on a poplar and bamboo core with two carbon stringers running tip to tail in each half, the Backwoods trades some weight for a lower price and a tougher build than the carbon version.\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 want a proven powder shape with heavy taper for float in trees and deep snow, and who would rather put the savings toward bindings than shave weight off the board.\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 cover long distances where every gram counts, ride mostly firm snow, or want a stiffer board for high-speed steeps.

and CCBB stocks four of them: 157, 160, 163W and 167W. Size on boot fit first, because the waist widens quickly. The 157 runs 25.6 cm and caps at a US 10 men's boot, the 160 runs 25.9 cm to a US 11.5, the 163W jumps to 27.4 cm for boots to US 13.5, and the 167W runs 28.1 cm to a US 15. A US 12 or 13 foot needs one of the wide sizes, and that is a wider gap than the length numbers suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis shape arrives with its setback built in. Eighteen millimetres of taper and 10 mm of setback are already in the outline, so there is little to gain from shifting the stance further back, and doing so lifts the nose rocker out of the snow rather than working with it. Skins are pre-cut and sold separately, sized by board rather than length: the 157 and 160 take Splitboard Skin 3, the 163W and 167W take Splitboard Skin 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eSize and setup guidance reviewed by CCBB splitboard staff.

Every other size in the run converts cleanly, and the gap between the standard and carbon versions holds at 540 to 630 g at each length, which the 3,100 g figure would break. Rather than pick one, the weight for the 157 is left off this page until Weston confirms it.

A tapered directional outline at 312-259-294 mm carries 18 mm of taper and a multi-radial sidecut tightening to 6.9 m underfoot, so a nose built for float still turns inside a tree run, and camber underfoot with a full inner steel edge holds a firm sidehill on the way home. At 3,392 g per board in a 160 the Backwoods asks more of the legs than its carbon sibling, and it returns a tougher build and a lower price for it. Size on boot width rather than rider weight, since the waist widens sharply above the 160.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weston","offers":[{"title":"157","offer_id":48876661964957,"sku":"27.006.025.157","price":989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"160","offer_id":48876661997725,"sku":"27.006.025.160","price":989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"163W","offer_id":48876662063261,"sku":"27.006.W25.163","price":989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"167W","offer_id":48876662096029,"sku":"27.006.W25.167","price":989.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/weston-backwoods-splitboard-topsheet-and-base-view_64a6cac7-383d-4d47-a16c-aa26a956d04e.jpg?v=1788905275","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/weston-backwoods-splitboard-2","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
