Burton is giving away a backyard snowmaking machine to whoever has the most legit backyard setup.

"Submit your best video highlighting your setup - it could be at a golf course, junkyard, school yard, wherever. We'll put it on Burton.com and let you vote online for the winner. We know that snow is the key ingredient for any park. That's why we're hooking up the winner with a complete snowmaking system complements of Snowathome.com."


So make an edit, maybe film a few of your boarder friends seshing it, cut out any skiing shots, and send it in!

you know, it's common sense that when hot air blows onto water, it creates ice crystals that form into snow.....

they are super easy to make.  just research it a little.  ive been making snow for years and made my first machine for less than 50 bucks. all you have to have is an air compressor and a little time to throw some shit together...

super easy...

Just get a snowboarder buddy to session your setup and post that.

You can both use the snowmaking machine if its won.  :)

look at it this way, burton is a snowboarding company so they put on a contest on for snowboarders only, just like how the g suit contest was only for skiers

In my opinion that snowathome thing is the biggest waste of money possible. There not that difficult to make (theres a snowmaking cult) and I remember a member (Snowcase) was selling some. You hook it up for a pressure washer and a hose, or something. They were like 40-100 bucks.

that sounds pretty freakin legit. it's too bad the contest doesnt end until the end of the season, so you can't be blowin snow until next year.
