Its been in and out. But didnt they just dropped their whole freeski team from their franchise companies so I dont see why they would do it. Unless they are going for the whole I pissed you off heres a lollypop tactic..........

I remember hearing about this a year ago or something. I don't think it's going to happen.

Earlier this week, Those Responsible helped spread a rumor that snowboard-maker Burton would be making skis in 2008. Burton was not pleased. After a spokesman for the company called to say “Burton will not be making skis,” the story was pulled. Mud on our faces—unless those first set of twin-tips roll off the assembly line next year.—Eds

Fuck that, Burton is so gay anyway.  If they gonna hate on us I'll hate on their sorry asses.  Ski brands like Orage are way higher quality anyway.

Burton as a company is a shit box, they cause and support a huge division between boarders and skiers, and exclude people from thing because of skiing.
Take for example the new poaching contest...now I'm not saying I don;t like poaching, it's fun, but they are only doing it to hate on skiers and show our differences, instead of uniting us as winter sports enthusiasts.
They have some nice outerwear I wouldn't mind having, but alot of their business politics infuriate me.

Imma disagree here, they are poaching resorts that only allow skiiers, in a way a huge protest against this discrimination.  They are almost trying to show that there is NO difference between boarders and skiiers and the resorts, 2 of which are on federal ground, whom snowboarders pay taxes to, should have the right to snowboard there.  I'm not really all for the contest, but I just think its really narrow minded to think this is just to spite skiiers.

Ok, I'll agree with your point, and in fact I think the contest is brilliant...but the only thing this will accomplish is making those resorts more firm-planted in the belief that boarders are nothing but trouble, and they should be kept out..that's what I was trying to say.
