The Weston Hatchet Splitboard takes the Hatchet and, well, splits it. A tactical tool for acting the fool, there's nothing like getting way out yonder with a floaty freestyle twin. A little bit short and a little bit wide, this board has all the float of a big pow board but loves landing switch and spinning--it's a freestyle board for motivated powder hounds, made for spinning off cheese wedges into untouched landings, getting creative in natural terrain, and having a blast in the snow. The Hatchet split is backcountry gadgetry done right.
Twin Powder Camber – Symmetric reverse-camber tip and tails provide maximum float in deep snow, while giving the ability to land or ride switch. A mild camber underfoot provides stability and control.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Twinish / Volume Shifted – This board is designed to be ridden shorter while providing comparable float and near-twin ride. The surface area of a larger board but in a smaller size creates more float with easier maneuverability but slightly reduced edge hold.
71% Poplar / 26% Paulownia / 3% Bamboo
Flax Touring Bracket and Inserts Plates – Weston places an additional layer of flax under the splitboard inserts and under the ski binding area for improved screw retention. Flax has the added benefit of providing some damping which helps in that area since it takes abuse with every step, plus it’s natural and sustainable.
2x Tip to Tail S-Weave Carbon – This advanced weaving of carbon through the core creates more pop.
Tri-axial Glass – Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
Polyurethane – Polyurethane is poured during construction to form a single, unified piece of sidewall wrapping around the entire core for increased strength and durability. Because of this process, it also creates less waste material than other sidewall options.
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.
Karakoram TipLoc Clips
Karakoram Ultraclip 2.0 – This system brings the two sections of your board together with force, creating the most responsive ride possible with added tension and adjustability to prevent slipping over time.
Skin Attachment – Tip holes (for Pomoca Z-Clips) and tail notches.

Spark Arc bindings have been improved in just about every way over the summer, and the Spark R&D Arc ST Pro Splitboard Bindings go even further in their quest for the lightest and most efficient splitboard connection possible. Spark started by initiating their "ST" (Smooth Touring) program on just about any connection with inherent friction, and using a fresh overmolding process proceeded to drastically improve both performance and durability. With the Pro Series bindings, they jumped at any opportunity to cut weight without sacrificing performance, adding carbon to the highbacks, hollowing out the pivot pins, and substituting alloy hardwear for stainless steel where possible. The Arc ST Pro is the softer flexing of the company's offerings, best for those who prefer a surfier, more forgiving ride.
Hollow Pivot Pins – Made with stainless steel and hollowed out to be 33% lighter than standard pins
Improved ST (Smooth Touring) Mode – Spark injection molds a proprietary thermoplastic over existing aluminum or steel parts in a process called "overmolding," reducing friction and improving durabillity.
ST Whammy Bars – Overmolded plastic blend where the climbing wire meets the baseplate to eliminate stickiness. (Note: not backward compatible with previous Arc, Surge or other older models)
ST Touring Brackets – Overmolded with low-friction proprietary plastic over and through the bracket holes in the aluminum base - strong, smoother pivoting, and lasts 4 times longer than the old brass bushing.
CNC Machined Baseplates – CNC machined baseplates remain solid for max stiffness and durability. All of the baseplate side windows have been partially filled to increase durability and strength
7075 Aluminum Heel Loops – 7075 Aluminum heel loops are thinner and lighter than our standard heel loops while maintaining the required strength.
Pebax® Pillow Line Straps, Ladders and Adjusters – Pebax® is a plastic commonly used in high-end alpine touring ski boots, It is stiff, tough and 20% lighter than the standard material used.
Proven Burton Buckles
Carbon Reinforced Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks – Asymmetrical design features individual left and right highbacks that slope inward matching the rider’s stance / The upper section is flatter for improved lateral mobility / More material at the base for increased longevity and durability / Higher bottom edge won’t snag on boots with crampon welts or soles that wrap high on the heel
Flippin’ FLAD toggles between your forward lean angle and -13° touring position for easy transitions.
Lateral slots for our BD Touring Strap for greater edge control while skinning.
Tool free micro-adjustable from 0° to 22° for complete customization of your forward lean angle
Made with proprietary custom blended materials for improved strength and durability, while minimizing weight.
7075 Aluminum Hardware – A 65% weight savings is found by replacing 7 stainless steel components with 7075 aluminum hardware, custom made in-house
