Burton Root Snowboard - 2012

Traditional snowboard design dictates that freeride boards should be stiff, unfriendly planks that prefer carving turns to spinning off cornices. Burton turns the concept of a big-mountain board upside down with the all-new Root Snowboard, featuring the cutting-edge Nug Raduction technology that lets you downsize your board by up to 10cm without compromising high-speed control or deep-snow float.

• Nug Raduction technology uses a wider shape, longer effective edge, and extended contact points for big-board stability with short-board maneuverability (downsize 8-10cm from your normal board size)
• Flat Top profile uses a large stable flat zone with rocker in the tip and tail for a floaty, forgiving ride that still feels solid at speed
• Squeezebox core profiling offers more effective longitudinal energy transfer for bigger ollies with less effort
• Slightly tapered shape (5mm) for effortless float in deep snow and quicker edge-to-edge transitions
• Triax fiberglass for a responsive ride that still feels playful
• Side Effects lengthen your contact points for more surface area and better float in deep snow
• Frostbite Edges extend slightly out from binding-mount zones for predictable, powerful grip in all snow conditions
• The Channel mounting system allows infinite stance options and a more natural flex

Bottom Line: The small big-mountain board.
