Awesome post about Burton Snowboards! I love how insightful your writing is and I also love the pictures that you used. Those boards are so cool!! Your blogs are very entertaining and I can not wait to read the newest blogs keep up the good work.

More junk from Burton. Those channel boards absolutely are the worst; the bolts often come loose within hours of being in snow.

Did Burton not talk to structural engineers about the fact that steel bolts shrink in the cold?

I don’t understand so much about snowboarding, but I like the 2010 Burton Women’s Lipstick one.
I’m waiting for this year to go ice skating..

I’m interested in your opinion on a board choice. I’ve been riding over 15 years, live in Vail, and would consider myself an advanced rider. My delima is this… I love to spend my days in the trees, relatively tight trees, because that is where the powder is. I also spend a lot of time riding with guys who are much heavier and faster than I am, going top speed on groomers from hit… to hit… to hit and I’m always the last one to the chair… it irks me to be last. I also like to jump, ollie and spin, but am not a park girl at all.

I’m 5’4″, 126 lbs. So, I’m looking for a board that is sturdy/stiff enough to hold up in high speed chatter, but flexible enough to maneuver tight trees in powder. It would be great if it had a little snap for ollie/butter.

I’ve been looking at the Feelgood, Feelgood ES (too stiff?), and now you have me wondering about the Malolo. Sounds like you like trees as much as me.

Any suggestions? If I demo, I’m going to end up having to pay full price on a 2010 model and can’t afford that.

Yeah snowboard post!
I’ve always been partial to Burton as well (pro deals help). I haven’t tried the channel system but like the idea of unlimited stance variation. No new boards this year though:(

peach/nikki,.

for a catch free ride you should check out the social or the feather, both have softer flexes, mellower edge tunes and convex tip & tail which should help reduce all the edge catching.

good luck!
