The perfect snowboard - Weston Backwoods Splitboard - 18/19

After being snowboard tester for outlets like Transworld and Backcountry Mag, I found the Backwoods and it blew my mind. It has been my daily driver for the past three seasons, and I’ve ridden every where from the tight trees of Northern Vermont, to the Fjords of Iceland, to the Crested Butte Backcountry.

It’s rare to find a board that truly does everything well, but this board thrives in all conditions. It’s big rockered nose and tapered directional shape make this board surfy and fun in pow, while the camber between the feet and carbon stringers throughout mean this board is just as comfortable in steeps, variable conditions, and laying trenches on groomers as it is on deep days.

What™’s more is Weston has a reputation for building bombproof boards that can take a beating. Being on the east coast, I tend to be hard on my boards, hitting off rocks, and other snow sharks regularly. Other companies boards I have chewed up and spit out broken in less than a season, not the backwoods, still going strong after three seasons of abuse.

On closing, I’™ve recommended this board to a ton of my friends, and the response is always the same. “That board is incredible.”
