Weston Backwoods vs Weston Japow

How they compare

the Weston Backwoods leans more freeride, while the Weston Japow leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Weston Backwoods has a other profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Weston Japow uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
