Just wonderin how everyone feels about a snowboarder rockin' a ski company jacket. I know of skiers rockin burton shit and what not, but I havent seen any local riders in strictly ski company gear. I got my eye on one of their jackets and havent been able to find anything comparable to the style it has. Peace and love homies

to be honest, i wouldnt mind, but i can see some people getting real mad about it.  the way i see it is snowsports are snowsports, and it really shouldnt be this separated.

Anyone that gave a shit about a snowboarder wearing clothes by a ski-oriented company is probably a homo

I think it would be awsome to see snowboarders rocking ski gear.

More sales= Better products, which means in the years to come SAGA will be even nastier than it is now.

Glad to hear everyone is cool with this, I'm probably gunna go ahead and do it. I ride with roomate whose a skier everyday for the past few years anyways so i'm kinda immersed in the whole ski culture as much as the snowboard culture anyways. Got some hand me down public enemies from him this year to. Thanks all, peace and love

I would think it was sick.  Saga is tasty, period.  I think we need more love between the skiing and snowboarding, not less.

for sure, i love seein snowboarders and skiers gettin along more and more. We both live the same kinda lives, just slide down the snow in different ways. Our goals are all the same though.... no reason to hate on one another.... were all out here for the same reason; to throw down and have fun. Lets tear ut up!

Dude, Burton isn't that anti-ski.  They're just very pro-snowboard.  I was emailing this one burton rep about stickers, and I told him I was a skier but I had a burton jacket and he got all stoked about it

Anyways, it'd be a little wierd because Saga isn't "meant" for snowboarders, but hey, Burton isn't meant for skiers either...I'd be down, and probs a bit stoked to see small ski companies getting recognized outside the ski industry

word...any business that SAGA gets is great....the more they sell, the bigger they get....and im positive that when 1 snowboarder wears SAGA, others will follow, and the company will rise

Dude, so are Line, Armada, and Orage (just what I can think of now) anti snowboard?  NO!  To be anti-something they have to actively put it down.  Does Burton say "Down with skiers"?  Not as far as I know.  Just because they don't embrace our sport it doesn't mean that they're anti-skiing.  Jeez.

Besides, if every newschooler thought like you, then why do people wear so much burton/ronin gear?  Wouldn't it be bad to support this so-called "anti-skiing" company?
