Backwoods Split

The Backwoods excels in tight trees to steep, open bowls and is hailed as one of the best splitboards created for it’s versatility in a freeride setting. Featuring a pow centric, Directional Multi-Radial Camber-Rocker profile with a wide nose, narrow tail, Rugged Topsheet, Sintered Base, and our Slayer Wood Core - the Backwoods floats effortlessly in powder, is nimble in tight trees, is stiff enough to hold an edge through crud, and is fast enough to keep you on top all day long. Add in our Split Tech for the uphills and you’ll have optimum skin traction, edgehold and ease of kick-turns

TECH:
- Slayer Wood Core:This is our bamboo/poplar core used in most of the boards
in our line. Designed to be energetic and damp.
- Tip to tail Carbon: Carbon fiber runs through the entire core from tip to tail to provide added pop and response.
- UHMW PE Sidewalls: Highly durable sidewall that protects the core from impact and increases torsional stability.
- Stitched Tips: Our tip spacers are stitched to the core to provide added durability.
- Tri-Axe Glass: Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
- Rooted Inserts: Just like roots help keep a plant grounded, flax reinforcement in areas of the core help increase strength and durability.
- Rugged Topsheet: Polymide is eco friendly and made from castor beans. The topsheet is durable and resistant to scratches and scuffs.
- Sintered 4000 Base: Faster ride, very durable, great wax retention.
- Boltless Base: By using fine threaded bolts we were able to provide a smooth finish to our bases for easier tuning and greater speed.
- Forged Tips: Stainless steel metal tip and tail pieces protect from damage and increase durability.
- Split Tech: We don’t skimp on our 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 we balance
our splits so that they are tail heavy.
- Karakoram Ultra Clips: UltraClips deliver unmatched compression between board halves and they are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages. Karakoram 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.
