Burton Snowboards Flagship Store

WOW! I can now check it off my «bucket list»! Traveling all the way from Utah to visit the Burton factory & flagship store was an amazing experience. 1^st the Burton store has everything you can imagine if your a snowboarder & a fan of Burton. They had some great deals on the winter gear since it was June. The entire facility is so chill, & everyone was so happy, helpful & genuinely stoked to work for Burton. Phil & Drew are super cool & know their stuff, they’ll make sure you get what your looking for! These guys working the store are extremely knowledgable & more than happy to swap pics, & stories.
The hour long factory tour is hosted by a guy named «TK», he’s one of the coolest most down to earth guys I’ve ever met. So happy to answer any & all questions from the group. You get to see first hand pretty much everything from how the boards are built, to the clothing, goggle, helmet & binding design.
Awesome to see why Burton continues to be the leader in the industry world wide. Even if you don’t ride the Burton store offers everything for the active outdoor type man, woman or child. Go check it out, you get FREE stickers!

400!
I’ll dedicate this milestone review to the sport of snowboarding and the company that put it on the map, Burton. Stay with me on this one, because even if you don’t ride, you’ll certainly find something here.
Jake Burton started out by making snowboards in his garage in 1977. He was inspired by the snurfer and built boards that glided smoothly across the snow with flexible straps to keep riders buckled in. He worked with the local resorts to help snowboarding gain acceptance at the mountains. These days it’s pretty common to see half the people on the slopes riding snowboards. Burton has grown to be the largest snowboard brand in the world and they have many different snowboard related brands under their umbrella. They sponsor many of the top riders and offer Learn To Ride programs at many resorts to get newbies up and riding with beginner instruction and equipment. That’s important, because you are going to take your lumps the first few times out. Like the heelside head snap and the toeside faceplant. Don’t worry, you’ll be carving huge powder turns and getting big air in no time.
What sets Burton apart for me is their innovation. This flagship store at the site of their factory has it all. Take a look around and you’ll see what I’m talking about. They listen to their riders and make improvements to the gear. Anything you could need, they’ve already thought of and included. An outer zip pocket for goggles, check. Attachments so there is a gator between your pants and coat, check. A helmet with built in speakers, check. Pit and leg zips so you can air out on the lift, check. See what I mean?
Don’t ride? I feel for you, but they’ve got you covered too. Literally. When the weather turns cold, I’m always sporting some kind of their street gear. Sweaters, bags, beanies, hoodies… the best Jerry, the best. Trust. They even pack innovations into these things. Like the travel hoodie complete with an inflatable neck pillow and an eye mask that pulls down from the hood. You’re getting sleepy…
So, yeah I was completely stoked to visit the Burton flagship store in Burlington and gear up for the season. Thank you Jake for your impact on the sport I love. I saw that Jackson Hole already got dumped with 41 inches and can’t wait to get out there this season and rip it up. Bluebird powder day=bliss.

I must say it was worth the long 8 hour drive from Canada to the Burton Flagship Store in Burlington, VT. Of course, I didn’t just drive up there solely to shop at Burton (went shredding up at Smuggies too), but if I did, it would still be worth it. For anyone who rides, this is a must place to visit — you’re stepping into snowboarding history when you walk in here.
As many before me have mentioned, the staff here is so laid back and knowledgeable about the products. Everyone is so amazingly friendly here that it must be that VT hospitality that you will not find anywhere else. I have been to the Burton stores in Chicago, NYC, and Vail — you just won’t get the same service at those locations.
Obviously, this would be where you’d find the largest selection of Burton gear around. I recommend going around Presidents Day for their sales. Some of their clothing was 30% off, select boards 20% off, and select bindings 20%. I only came out with a t-​shirt and Cartel bindings. Could have bought a lot more, but had to exercise some fiscal restraint! Even if you don’t buy anything here, one visit to the Burton Flagship Store will make you have a better appreciation for snowboarding.
