Built for trees, steeps, and wherever the skintrack leads.

The Backwoods Splitboard is a backcountry-ready version of our most beloved freeride board, hidden behind a pow shape - designed for riders who want to surf pow in the morning and charge couloirs in the afternoon. With a tapered directional profile, mid-stiff flex, and Weston’s touring-specific construction, the Backwoods Split delivers confidence on the climb and pure stoke on the descent.

A wide nose and tapered tail give this board exceptional float, especially in tight trees and deep snow. The camber underfoot grips on spicy sidehills and exposed lines, while the rocker nose helps you stay on top without leaning in the backseat. It's the kind of board that makes long tours worth it and surprise storms unforgettable.

Built around our Slayer Split Core (poplar + bamboo stringers), the Backwoods Split is light enough for big days but tough enough for years of use. Tip to Tail Carbon Stringers increase torsional rigidity and drive, while a Sintered Durasurf 4001 Base keeps your glide fast and efficient. Split-specific tech includes our SplitTech inner edges for skin traction and tail-shifted balance for easier kick turns, Stainless Steel Edges for durability, UHMW Sidewalls for impact resistance, and Skinlock System compatibility for quick transitions.

Every detail was shaped by feedback from Weston guides, athletes, and avalanche professionals - and it’s all backed by our 4-Year Warranty and Board Slayer Program.

For riders who want one board to rule the trees, steeps, and everything in between - the Backwoods Split is your daily driver.

    Tip to Tail Carbon Stringers

    2x Carbon Stringers run tip to tail in each half of the splitboard creating longitudinal stiffness and fluid turns

    Split-Tech

    You’ll see a full inner metal edge, complete with sidewall and dampening tape. Also, when facing a kickturn on a steep slope, you want all the help you can get - that’s why we balance our splits so that they are tail heavy.

    Bamboo Inserts

    Reinforced bamboo at binding mounts adds strength, prevents pull-outs, and keeps flex consistent for long-lasting splitboard durability.

    LAYUP

    Slayer Split Core

    A blend of poplar and bamboo minimizes weight and makes for a snappy, responsive ride. Bamboo running the length of the board acts like a spring and increases pop throughout. This lightweight combination minimizes weight, meaning more of your effort can go towards having fun, instead of dealing with a heavy board. Both woods are fast growing and sustainability farmed, so natural forests aren’t harmed.

    Triax Fiberglass

    Balanced, bombproof flex. From groomers to glades.

    Sintered DuraSurf 4001 Base + Holeless

    Fast ride, more durable, good wax retention. It's the gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered base have a higher density than other options on the market, leading to better durability. Additionally, this structure 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 we use these on every board we make.

    *With great power comes great responsibility. Higher wax absorption means the wax will also release faster and requires waxing more often. If you can’t remember the last time your board has been waxed, it's probably due. A quick coat every couple of rides will keep your board lightning fast.

    MATERIALS

    Rugged Topsheet

    Think Rhino-Liner for your snowboard. This topsheet is bomb-proof and is designed to resist scratches and chipping. Plus its hydrophobic properties help to shed snow and prevent buildup. And if you weren’t sold already, it's made of castor beans instead of petroleum products, reducing the environmental footprint. The only downside is stickers don’t like to stick to it… but that's what helmets are for anyways.

    UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) Sidewalls

    Highly durable and impact resistant. Takes the hits. Keeps charging.

    Carbon Steel Edges

    Our edges are built with carbon steel, chosen for its balance of sharpness, strength, and longevity in real mountain conditions. Different rockwell hardness variants are used across our lineup to dial in performance - harder edges that hold sharpness longer for freeride and split models, and slightly softer ones for freestyle where durability and crack resistance matter most.

    Each edge is precision-tuned for maximum grip when it counts - on steep couloirs, icy traverses, and firm morning groomers - while still delivering a smooth, responsive ride in deep pow. Built to take a beating and keep carving, our carbon steel edges are designed for the long haul, season after season.

    SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

    • Bio-Based Topsheets

      A portion of these topsheets are derived from Castor Beans, reducing the need for petroleum based products.

    • Solvent-Free Inks

      The inks in our graphics generally use natural carriers and have low to no VOCs, making them safer to work with and better for the environment.

    • Flax Fibers

      Flax fibers provide great characteristics when it comes to strength and dampening, while being derived from natural plants.

    • Sustainably Sourced Cores

      The wood in the cores is grown and harvested from plantations instead of from natural forests, making the process less invasive and destructive.

    • Die-Cut Bases

      Solid color die-cut bases reduce the waste created by other graphics approaches, and the black is more easily repaired.

    • Recycled Material In Edges

      The edges use upwards of 50% recycled materials, reusing scrap in production and reducing the need for virgin materials.

    • VOC Free Epoxy

      The epoxy we use is VOC free, making it safer to work with and better for the environment without sacrificing durability or performance.
