Weston's unique shape makes this board excel uphill and downhill. Riders should consider the Backwoods Carbon if they want a featherweight volume shifted board that is easy to kick turn in the skin track, while still providing impressive float in deep snow and control on the steeps. The shape of this board allows riders to size down without sacrificing nose width for float. The 10mm setback and tapered tail make this deck extremely easy to turn edge-to-edge. With total float, riders can focus on their freeride style. The Backwoods Carbon features a premium Electra P-tex 5920 Graphite base and a full carbon layup versus fiberglass. Weston designed the gold standard of carbon splitboards that are still fun to ride. The sustainable paulownia/poplar wood core has aluminum stingers and bamboo inserts to maintain a poppy feel and stability when traversing to the next powder stash. The elegant design of the Carbon Backwoods splitboard has riders trusting year after year and tour after tour. This year, the Phantom semi-active Hercules clips are new to the board to create the most responsive carbon board yet. These clips are lighter than Karakoram clips and feature fewer moving parts to ensure the splitboard is locked solid for the ride down.
