Burton X8 can't handle Superior

By SnowbirdUT Ranked #967 - Boards November 18, 2008

I purchased this board December of 2007 new. It is an excellent board and treated me very well the whole season. The ICS/Est interface is a par none. There is no plastic base in the binding, just a base cushion. The weight of the binding has been reduced significantly. Although I took a trip in Feb. 2008 and was participating in a back country excursion upto Mt. Superior (the tallest peak in the Wasatch Range thatds directly across the street from Snowbird in Utah. We ended up climbing to the top and rippin right down the middle of Superior, but at the bottom my board was delaminated. There were definitely no rocks that hit the base, due to the incredible amount of snow present. Sent the board to Burton when I got home 5 days later, and received a brand new one 7 or so days after. Prompt service! Other than that minor flaw the board is great and I recommend it to anyone who wants to make the whole mountain theirs on a fun, playful board.
