The Weston Switchback Splitboard is named for the main skill you don’t already have. You know how to ride, you’re looking for pow to ride, and you’re hyped to start walking for it. A couple days fiddling with switchbacks is all it’ll take: you’re dialed! Weston went for durability with this splitboard: a 100% poplar core, ABS sidewalls, and an all-around shape that’s easy to wrangle. If you’re looking to get up and walking as easily as possible, the Weston Switchback Splitboard is the perfect foray onto the skin track.

Rocker Type

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

Flex

Flex Rating– 6 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Shape

Directional Multi Radial Camber Rocker Profile– A gradual increase from the nose to a more aggressive camber radius in the tail provides better pop/dampening on drops and control on bigger lines.

Core

Standard Split | Poplar– Weston’s classic, no frills, all popular wood core

Laminates

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

Sidewalls

Stitched Tips– Weston’s tip spacers are stitched to the core to provide added durability.

ABS– The best bang for the buck, ABS provides good durability at a good price. It’s tried and true so it will take whatever you throw at it and ask for more.

Base

Sintered Durasurf 4001– The 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.

Topsheet

TPU– A lightweight yet durable alternative to laquer topsheets.

Additional Features

Tip Holes and Tail Notches for Skin Attachment

Spark Fixies and Tip Clips

Terrain: Splitboarding SplitboardingA splitboard snowboard is built specifically for the backcountry rider. Splitboards are designed to break down into two separate halves for touring and uphill travel (with climbing skins). Special bindings are required as well. Once you’ve reached the top of the terrain feature, you reconnect your splitboard for the ride back downhill. However, it’s important to note that you will need appropriate backcountry tools, knowledge of the backcountry, weather and snow conditions and climbing skins to safely take advantage of the freedom of a splitboard.

Ability Level: Beginner-Intermediate Beginner-IntermediateWhether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Shape: Directional

Flex Rating: Medium MediumThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers’ number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
