today at mountain creek was the burton demo day and they also had a rail jam. they said the jam was open to BOTH skiers and snowboarders. so i sign up and and start skiing in the comp. after my 1st hit i walk back up to the top and the guy from burton who is running the thing tells me that skiers wont be judged and they cant win anything. then he explaines to me that burton has NOTHING to do with skiing and was a huge dick about the whole thing. how can he say that burton has nothing to do with skiing when both Anon and RED sponser skiers. and i know a billion skiers that wear burton stuff.

I know that nobody cares becuase your all skiers but elan does make awsome boards, their skis suck, but their boards are something else.

well dude there are easons though, either a) they didnt have people who knew enough to judge skiers and b) it wouldnt be good for the company image to give out shit to the only skier in the comp (if you won) and c) skiing and snowboarding are way different, its really hard to judge both together. apples to oranges nawda mean?

LOl at the guys who say they make good outerware...

I'm guessing you guys are talking more about style and less about function, right?

yeah, they're outwear licks ass. You have to pay at least a good $300 to get a jacket that's rated at 5,000mm for waterproof and breathability. Why do that when you can get a jacket from many other companies that are rated at 10,000-20,000 for cheaper.

IF, and yes I'm saying IF Burton EVER decided to make skis, I would buy a pair and video tape myself burning them to ashes and then piss on the ashes and then send the video to Burton. I HATE THEM.

Hahaha. People will mock that Burton dipshit's archaic attitude in the future when skiing and boarding cultures fuse into the new progression of mtn riding.

i feel like that one guy was just an ass hole
he was probably just ignorant cuz he doesnt understand skiers' styles because they do differ from boarders not in a good or bad way just a way
and this guy was just an idiot

burton stuff is pretty dope. and waterproof ratings aren't everything. I care a lot more about quality. Their materials hold up way better than most of the oakley stuff that skiers worship.

every time I read Freeskier or see a pair of 4frnt skis, I'm tempted to do the same thing. It'd only cost a few Gs....hmmmmm

I don't really know anyone personally that likes burton, and most of my friends are snowboarders. It's all about k2 bitches.
