with alot of compainies taking in freesking or snowboarding (jibtech, saga not incluing big companies like rossi)

how comes burton, the biggest company of all still is too single minded to include skiers onto thier team for even outerwear?

Burton has branded itself as Snowboard only, for years, that it might actually lose some of it's "hardcore" riders because Burton "soldout" to skiing.

Vise Versa... I know I would be disappointed if Armada, or LINE started to make snowboards..... They would be selling out to "snowboarding"

Burton doesn't need skiing. The majority of snowboarders don't know shit. But think that everything that Burton makes is gold. Why take a risk with skiing when you have a stranglehold on snowboarding?
