2026 Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard
The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero is the Vermont-born daily driver built to blast through tight trees, icy lines, and deep days with ease. This freeride directional shape rides like a twin when cruising but becomes a powerful, quick-turning machine on edge, thanks to 12mm taper and Balanced Freeride Geometry. Carbon-reinforced fiberglass stiffens the nose and tail for crud-busting stability, while the Super Fly II™ 700G Core keeps it light, lively, and full of pop. Whether you’re slashing through powder stashes or hammering hardpack laps, the Hometown Hero delivers Family Tree quality and all-terrain confidence.
Who is this board best for?
