Product Spotlight: Burton Hail Snowboard Boots

All hail the Burton Hail!  Soft yet supportive, with the fluid motion of a tweaked articulating cuff and the combined cushioning of an oversized airbag plus ultra cush footbed, the Hail boot is simply a staple of Burton’s lineup. The Flex Liner unlocks medial/lateral movement for a more natural feel, while the puffy tongue will not kink, enhances wrap, and softens the pressure of tightly cranked straps.

Product Spotlight: Salomon BBR Ski

The Salomon BBR is a ski like no other ski ever made. An oversized, surfboard like tip and rocker shape enable the ski to float in powder and adapt to uneven terrain smoothly and predictably.  BBR’s narrow waist and pintail, its short radius and short effective edge on-piste provide great grip and playfulness on harder snow. What Salomon calls the “V” shape, is literally 2 skis in one.  The new V-shape is characterized by a surf board shaped tip , a narrow waist and a pin tail. The overall result is versatile performance that must be experienced to be believed.  Shop the Salomon BBR
