Weston Backwoods Splitboard 2026

Weston knows the more you assume about backcountry conditions, the more you're likely to be in for a surprise - that's why the ultra versatile Weston Backwoods Splitboard was developed with an eye to handling every "wild" snow type you'll encounter and with enough guts to go from steeps to tree lines with ease. A directional rocker-camber-rocker shape and mid-flex of "6" deliver solid performance whatever the mountain throws at you.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional Freeride CamberSubtle rocker in the nose and tail provide additional float without losing stability. Camber underfoot provides confident edge hold and pop.

Flex

Flex Rating6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape

Directional Freeride with Slight Taper

Core

91% Poplar / 9% BambooSustainably harvested, this blend keeps the board smooth and powerful.

Laminates

Tip to Tail CarbonCarbon fiber run through the entire core from tip to tail to provide added pop and response.

Tri-Axe GlassMulti-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any ­terrain or snow conditions.

Sidewalls

PolyurethanePolyurethane is poured during construction to form a single, unified piece of sidewall wrapping around the entire core for increased strength and durability. Because of this process, it also creates less waste material than other sidewall options.

Base

Sintered Durasurf 4001The gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered bases have a higher density than other options on the market, and are therefore more durable. Additionally, it absorbs more wax, making for a faster and smoother ride. 4000-series PTEX is usually reserved for only top-of-the-line boards due to a higher manufacturing cost, but at Weston it’s the minimum standard.

Boltless Base

Topsheet

Rugged TopsheetPolymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.

Additional Features

Karakoram UltraClips and Active JoiningKarakoram UltraClips and Tip-Locks use Active Joining to spring load the seam of your splitboard, eliminating the rattling shearing, and rolling inherent to passive slip-fit connections. Simply close the lever to lock in the most responsive ride.

Rooted InsertsThe odds of pulling out inserts on a snowboard are about zero, but just to make sure Weston have reinforced all of the inserts areas with precision-cut sheets of flax. This improved durability and naturally dampens chatter. Additionally, flax is a sustainable crop and is good for the environment.

Split TechWeston doesn't skimp on their splits. You'll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kick-turn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that's why Weston balance's their splits so that they are tail heavy.
