2027 Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard
The 2027 Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Earth Snowboard is Burton's proven quiver-of-one, built to handle everything from icy groomers and tight trees to deep powder days. Designed and tested in the rugged terrain of Vermont, it combines a directional shape with Balanced Freeride Geometry to deliver the playful feel of a twin when riding flat while offering the float and precision of a freeride board when conditions demand it. Directional Camber, 45° Carbon Highlights, and the lightweight Super Fly II™ 700G Core create a lively, responsive ride that powers through crud, carves confidently, and stays composed wherever the mountain takes you.
