Arbor Veda Womens vs Weston Backwoods

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Arbor Veda Womens leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Arbor Veda Womens has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Weston Backwoods uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). The Arbor Veda Womens targets expert riders while the Weston Backwoods is aimed at advanced riders.
