The Best Splitboard for: Pow, Trees + Open Bowls
Skin Compatibility: Due to this splitboard's unique shape, Weston added tail notches for skin attachment. For maximum functionality, utilize size Small Pomoca skins and our Weston Tail Clips for sizes 159-169cm. For the 154cm you will need to also purchase the Tail Clip Kit from Pomoca and trim the Small to fit. Weston is continuing to actively improve the experience here.
The Japow is their response to the deepest snow on the planet. With a directional, Camber-Pow Rocker Nose with a Swallowtail, the shape will save your calves and make for effortless float and massive pow slashes. The Japow features a Rugged Topsheet made from castor bean oil to add durability/snow-shedding, a top of the line Sintered Base for speed, Tail V Carbon reinforcement for added pop, and a sustainably harvested poplar/bamboo core for pop and stability. This splitboard will keep you afloat while weaving through tight trees or laying down surf inspired carves on the groomers.
For the finishing touches on this splitboard, Weston uses active latching Karakoram Ultraclips to help create as close to a solid board feel as possible and limit chatter between sections. Additionally, they design with camber underfoot so that you'll have optimum skin traction for the uphill, and edge-hold on the downhill. A slight shift of the touring bracket forward to create a heavier tail also allows for ease of kick-turns in the skin track.
