Weston Backwoods vs Weston Riva

How they compare

the Weston Backwoods leans more freeride, while the Weston Riva 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 camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Weston Riva uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Weston Backwoods is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
