Weston Backwoods vs Weston Japow X Hokkaido Backcountry Club

How they compare

the Weston Backwoods leans more freeride, while the Weston Japow X Hokkaido Backcountry Club 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. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Weston Backwoods is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
