Slash trees. Stomp steeps. Float pow. Repeat.

The Backwoods Snowboard is Weston’s award-winning freeride board hidden behind a pow shape - purpose-built for riders who chase powder in the morning, carve the frontside at lunch, and snake through tight trees on the way out. With a tapered directional shape, setback stance, and a mid-stiff flex, the Backwoods blends float, control, and versatility into one fast, powerful ride.

This board thrives when the snow stacks deep. A wide nose and tapered tail keep it planing effortlessly while reducing drag, and the camber underfoot delivers powerful edge hold for navigating steep lines and mixed conditions. Whether you're dropping into alpine bowls or threading pillow lines through dense forest, the Backwoods is balanced, responsive, and playful where it counts.

Built with Weston’s Slayer Core (poplar + bamboo stringers), this board offers long-lasting pop with reduced weight. Add in 2x Tip to Tail Carbon Stringers for pop and energy transfer, a Rugged Topsheet to shrug off rocks and bootpack abuse, and a Sintered Durasurf 4001 Base that’s fast and durable no matter what kind of snow you’re in.

Tested and trusted by Weston guides and athletes, the Backwoods is backed by our 4-Year Warranty and support from our Board Slayer Program.

If your perfect line has trees, steeps, and an untouched apron waiting at the bottom - the Backwoods is ready to ride it with you.

    2x Tip to Tail Carbon Stringers

    We lace two carbon stringers down the center of the Backwoods from tip to tail to dial up the responsiveness without turning the ride into a plank. This design stiffens the board just enough for stability at speed and quick edge-to-edge transitions, while still keeping the torsional flex playful for surfy pow slashes. The carbon adds pop and rebound for sending cliff drops, pillow lines, and natural hits - so when you load it up, it launches.

    LAYUP

    Slayer Core

    A blend of poplar and bamboo minimizes weight and makes for a snappy, responsive ride. Bamboo running the length of the board acts like a spring and increases pop throughout. This lightweight combination minimizes weight, meaning more of your effort can go towards having fun, instead of dealing with a heavy board. Both woods are fast growing and sustainability farmed, so natural forests aren’t harmed.

    Triax Fiberglass

    Balanced, bombproof flex. From groomers to glades.

    Sintered DuraSurf 4001 Base

    Fast ride, more durable, good wax retention. It's the gold standard in bases. The 4000-series sintered base have a higher density than other options on the market, leading to better durability. Additionally, this structure 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 we use these on every board we make.

    *With great power comes great responsibility. Higher wax absorption means the wax will also release faster and requires waxing more often. If you can’t remember the last time your board has been waxed, it's probably due. A quick coat every couple of rides will keep your board lightning fast.

    MATERIALS

    Rugged Topsheet

    Think Rhino-Liner for your snowboard. This topsheet is bomb-proof and is designed to resist scratches and chipping. Plus its hydrophobic properties help to shed snow and prevent buildup. And if you weren’t sold already, it's made of castor beans instead of petroleum products, reducing the environmental footprint. The only downside is stickers don’t like to stick to it… but that's what helmets are for anyways.

    UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) Sidewalls

    Highly durable and impact resistant. Takes the hits. Keeps charging.

    Carbon Steel Edges

    Our edges are built with carbon steel, chosen for its balance of sharpness, strength, and longevity in real mountain conditions. Different rockwell hardness variants are used across our lineup to dial in performance - harder edges that hold sharpness longer for freeride and split models, and slightly softer ones for freestyle where durability and crack resistance matter most.

    Each edge is precision-tuned for maximum grip when it counts - on steep couloirs, icy traverses, and firm morning groomers - while still delivering a smooth, responsive ride in deep pow. Built to take a beating and keep carving, our carbon steel edges are designed for the long haul, season after season.

    • Bio-Based Topsheets

      A portion of these topsheets are derived from Castor Beans, reducing the need for petroleum based products.

    • Solvent-Free Inks

      The inks in our graphics generally use natural carriers and have low to no VOCs, making them safer to work with and better for the environment.

    • Flax Fibers

      Flax fibers provide great characteristics when it comes to strength and dampening, while being derived from natural plants.

    • Sustainably Sourced Cores

      The wood in the cores is grown and harvested from plantations instead of from natural forests, making the process less invasive and destructive.

    • Die-Cut Bases

      Solid color die-cut bases reduce the waste created by other graphics approaches, and the black is more easily repaired.

    • Recycled Material In Edges

      The edges use upwards of 50% recycled materials, reusing scrap in production and reducing the need for virgin materials.

    • VOC Free Epoxy

      The epoxy we use is VOC free, making it safer to work with and better for the environment without sacrificing durability or performance.
