Backcountry Snowboards
Backcountry and powder snowboards are directional shapes built to do one thing exceptionally well — ride deep, variable, untracked snow. Wider noses, setback stances, taper from nose to tail and rocker profiles that keep the tip above the surface in soft snow. These boards are not all-mountain compromises. They are specialist tools for specific terrain.

In Australia, a dedicated backcountry or powder board earns its keep on the deep days at Mt Hotham, Falls Creek and Mt Buller — the morning after a significant snowfall when the off-piste is untracked — and in the Australian backcountry terrain accessible by splitboard or touring. The shapes that work in deep Australian snow are often different from what the northern hemisphere market considers a powder board.
Australian powder tends to be denser and wetter than Japanese Japow or Colorado champagne powder. Mid-width boards with meaningful setback and early rise rocker handle our conditions better than ultra-wide rockered shapes designed for lighter snow.
Jones, Korua, Lib Tech, Burton and YES all have strong directional and powder shapes. Come in and talk to us about the conditions you ride most and we will match you to the right shape.

Let customers speak for us
from 827 reviewsI ordered gear from 3 different skate stores, These guys were by far the fastest and best to deal with.
had it as a mid layer this weekend and was very satisfied with it. even as a standalone vest
Easily modifiable to fit Alpine Prime bindings along with a Quiver Connector means I have a premium split/resort Straightline binding ready to rip on my travels
Easy to deal with and good options.
Great service, great communication, super fast shipping!
Great quality product. Liners are amazing. Recommend using beeswax on leather palm to keep it waterproof. Holds up in wet weather
The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.
Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!
These Burton base layer pants are the best! Super comfy and a good fit.
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!
Nice sized day pack for short trips and staying light. Can't wait to get up in the mountains to use it.
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
Incredible company, my Burton Swash jacket was exactly as advertised, great website, good post purchase communication and fast postage. Overall, a perfect experience!
