By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Love the Weston Backwoods Snowboard
The Weston Backwoods Snowboard is a true freeride weapon that excels in powder fields, tight tree runs, and big mountain lines. Its versatility is the result of a traditional directional powder board shape, featuring a wider nose, narrow tail, and setback stance, combined with a surprising stiff flex. This unique shape allows for incredible floatation in deep powder while providing the stability needed to carve hard turns on larger faces.
Key Features
- Freeride Board: A board designed to dominate in powder fields, tight trees, and big lines
- Directional Shape: Offers superior edge hold and exceptional floatation
- Mid-Stiff Flex: Provides the perfect balance between powder control and edge stability
- Camber-Rocker Profile: Combines a short camber section and pronounced rocker for excellent floatation and edge control
- Poplar and Bamboo Core: A sustainable and responsive core construction
- Durable Topsheet: Polyamide topsheet that sheds snow to prevent bogging down
- Sintered Base: Easily repairable base material for long-lasting performance
Handmade in Minturn, Colorado: Weston snowboards are crafted with care in the heart of snowboarding country.
