You’re not the type to go straight down the gut of the most obvious runs. You ride a Weston Backwoods Snowboard, for crying out loud! A freeride board in the shape of a powder chaser, the backwoods excels at all points of your deep snow search. It’s very capable through the variable conditions that may show up on your way to the way out, like wind-scoured traverses or icy entrances, getting you to the goods in one piece. And when that secret run opens up into an untracked bowl, the Backwoods goes full-on pow blaster. A fantastic daily driver for deep-snow areas.

Rocker Type

Rocker / Camber / Rocker

Directional Freeride Camber– Subtle rocker in the nose and tail provide additional float without losing stability. Camber underfoot provides confident edge hold and pop

Flex

Flex Rating– 7 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Shape

Tapered Directional– A larger nose provides float in deep snow, while a tapered tail helps to initiate turns quicker.

Core

91% Poplar + 9% Bamboo– Sustainably harvested, the blend keeps the board smoothand surfy with a good amount of pop

Laminates

Tri-Axe Glass– Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.

Carbon Fiber Stringers– Stringers running the length of the board increase stiffness throughout. By placing them near the center, the board doesn’t become overly stiff torsionally, making for easy turn initiation. They also allow for equivalent stiffness with less core material needed, reducing overall weight.

Sidewalls

Polyurethane– Polyurethane is poured during construction to form a single, unifiedpiece 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.

Base

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.

Binding Compatibility

2 x 4 Insert Pattern

Terrain: Freeride, Powder FreerideFreeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction. PowderPowder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider’s stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Shape: Directional

Flex Rating: Stiff StiffThe amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers’ number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
