Summer is officially over and — from a consumer standpoint — it may be that fall has been skipped altogether and we’re fast forwarding directly to winter (or, at least, the holiday season). Retailers are already stocking the shelves with Christmas decorations. Yes, you read that correctly. If you haven’t been to any of the large box stores in the last few weeks, you heard it here first.

That signals the start of the snow sports preparation. Ski resorts are wrapping up their existing summer programs and changing gears for winter. While we are still a few months away from opening day on the slopes, now is the time to break out your equipment, start working out those legs (so you don’t suffer the first day), and, most importantly, begin perusing local ski shops and online retailers for a new jacket.

We want to make the upcoming season easier for you by providing you a sneak peek at some of the newest jackets by the largest snowboard brand in the world: Burton Snowboards, which was created by Jake Burton Carpenter, the widely accepted godfather of the sport, in 1977.

Burton Step-On bindings review: Step-On Loback will make you rethink your snowboard setup

Burton Loback Step-On

When people talk about snowboarding, they tend to focus on the board itself. How flexible it is, its shape, and length. The purpose of the snowboard. How many snowboards are in their quiver, and the specific scenarios and conditions for each board. They tend to focus a lot of energy on whether the board is letting them down when they don’t have a great day on the mountain.

It’s a fair line of thinking. Sometimes, you’re on the wrong board. Most of the time, this isn’t the case. Most snowboarders have a traditional camber board, likely purchased because they like the graphics — and camber boards are great for most riding scenarios.
