What to see what everyone is going to be shredding on next winter? Here is a sneak peak from all your favorite brands like Burton Snowboards, Dakine, Never Summer, Nike Snowboarding, The North Face, Oakley, Orage, Ortovox, POC, Ride Snowboards, Salomon Snowboards, Smith Optics, and Union Bindings!
Ladies are often the most particular about their comfort level on the mountain. Hate to dive into stereotypes, but honestly at the first sign of pain, chill or wetness, most ladies are ready to bail into the lodge for some hot toddies. Thankfully those inklings of wimpiness that give lady shredders bad reps can be tossed with a hearty dose of Burton Axel Boots underfoot.
All about comfort here’s the standout tech from the Axel Boots:
Burton Tyro Boot
What’s a sport without a little competition? For 2013 Burton introduces the Tyro Boot featuring the NEW Speed Dial Lacing System. That’s right lace-twisters and BOA lovers, you can now dial up with the comfort and security with Burton boot construction underfoot. Not just a mimic of BOA, the Speed Dial System is always fully engaged, no more locking and unlocking to crank or loosen your fit. And exiting the boot is as easy as pulling the dial-top loop (marked “pull” and “exit” in the picture, yes these boots are dummy proof!).
Here are the highlights of the Tyro Boots’ innards: Read the rest of this entry »
Burton Ion Boots
If you’ve been around the block in snowboarding then surely you’ve come to know the super supportive Burton Ion Boot. This snowboarding legend is back to claim your allegiance once again, this time with the power of Pirelli®. That’s right, Pirelli® one of the world’s largest premium tire manufacturers, has joined forces with Burton to enhance the Ion Boot with Pirelli® Rubber and Snow Tire Tread inspired outsole design. Sounds like the prefect boot for riders who love to hike to those hidden stashes.
And if the killer outsole of the Ion wasn’t enough to tickle your fancy, the rest of the features in the Ion Boots will surely lock you in: Read the rest of this entry »
Burton Spliff Snowboard
For 2012 Burton set out to rival splitboard manufacturers with the Burton Freebird. For 2013, the Burton Freebirdis back, this time with a little brother by its side. Part of The Family Tree line that stems from Burton’s roots with the likes of Craig Kelly, the Burton Spliff represents appropriately. The Burton Spliff Snowboard features Nug Raduction technology allowing two great styles of boards, the splitboard and the Nug, to be rolled into one tight little Spliff super-board.

Burton SLX Boots
Four words: passion, perfection, SLX, Terje. The Burton SLX Boots are home to the feet of the six-time winner of the Legendary Baker Banked Slalom, Terje Haakonsen. Terje’s been ripping for going on 30 years and still kills it with features in Transworld and movie parts all over the world. And as if Terje’s endorsement of the SLX Boots weren’t enough, the SLX Boots are backed by many happy evo customers: we sold out of the SLX Boots in 2012 well before La Nina’s Snowmaggedan even hit. The Burton SLX Boots are known for their amazing support, fit, superior materials and construction; but here’s why we are stoked on the Burton SLX Boots for 2013:
