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.
