"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve been riding the Backwoods for two seasons now, and it’s hands-down the most versatile freeride board I’ve owned. It floats effortlessly in pow, but what surprised me is how well it rails carves on groomers and stays nimble in tight trees. It’s like having a powder board that still loves the resort. The pop from the bamboo core and carbon stringers makes it super lively and stable without feeling stiff or punishing.""Who It’s ForIntermediate to Expert Freeriders:The Backwoods is for riders who chase deep snow but still want one board for every day on the mountain. Ideal for freeriders who split time between resort laps and sidecountry exploration, it rewards confident edge control, smooth carves, and a playful style in soft snow or steep lines. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Freeride and Powder Riding:Purpose-built for versatility, the Backwoods excels in powder, trees, and mixed terrain. Its tapered directional shape and setback stance make it floaty and forgiving when the snow stacks deep, while traditional camber underfoot locks in stability and grip on groomers, chunder, and steeps. Why We Like ItSurfy Float and All-Mountain Control in One Ride:We like how Weston packed a freeride soul into a board that handles the entire mountain. The Slayer Core with poplar and bamboo delivers a damp yet energetic ride, while the twin carbon stringers keep it snappy and responsive edge-to-edge. Add a sintered base for top-tier glide and a rugged nylon topsheet for durability, and you’ve got a reliable daily driver that crushes powder mornings and holds strong all season long."
