Focused heavily on hardcore backcountry exploration, Minturn, Colorado-based Weston Backcountry makes heady skis and snowboards for advanced outdoorists. To help make this rather inaccessible and exclusive environment more accessible—and make their latest product drop even better looking—the small independent brand has released a new collaboration with artist, skier, mountain biker, and all around rad outdoorist Brooklyn Bell, which directly supports scholarships for BIPOC women with the American Institute for Avalanche Research & Education (AIARE).
Weston commissioned Bell, who is based in Bellingham, WA, to dress up a new, limited collection that includes a pow board, a splitboard, and a pair of touring skis with her characteristic, colorful painterly artwork. All three feature the same resulting piece—an abstraction of a mountainscape that contrasts dark ethereal landscapes with warmer, craggy mountains.
