Weston Backwoods Artist Series Splitboard 2022

Why We Like The Backwoods Artist Series Splitboard

We’re firmly in the camp of belief that backcountry riders get way more powder than resort riders, which is why we bring the Weston Backwoods Splitboard through the backcountry, up mountains, and into the deep forests in search of the best untouched snow around.

This Artist Series version maintains the same build as the original version, but also features the work of Artist John Fellows, and will help raise funds and awareness around supporting our National Forests. Its highly rockered, shovel tip and blunt, early rise tail make it easy for us to charge hard through deep snow down open bowls, while the camber underfoot handles edge control in tight couloirs. Weston built this board out of a poppy poplar wood with light, stiff bamboo, and there are carbon stringers to amplify the board’s flex without adding weight, making it a dream on both the uphill and the descent.
