This Burton AK Pack is the perfect lightweight pack for a day on the mountain. It's low-profile, yet large enough to carry goggles, hydration pack, extra layer, food, and then lash your stick on the back ... it also has a survival whistle built into the straps in case you get lost. I got the 11L because it's large enough to carry everything I need for the day, but not big enough that I have to be the packhorse for all my friends' gear!!

I have the Honeycircle 2 in 161...Just RIPPED Vail, Keystone and Copper...This board performed well in ALL conditions..I'm larger rider 6'1" 200lb and this board was the PERFECT size.. Vail was INSANE powder...this board handled the backcountry in 3 feet of powder in the Wildwood bowl..no problem...weight of kept it floating all day.. next day, was icy at keystone.. Board is very stable and easy to make adjustments even at high speeds. Very forgiving and difficult to lose control on...Copper was the same deal....Best board i've ever rode..able to handle, powder,ice, backcountry...pretty much whatever you throw at it.. Good ridin' all.

I just picked up this Skyback 2 to put on last years Cartel ..It's a PERFECT fit, is anatomically correct with the canted back, and has the new lean adjustment know to quickly control your forward lean..This means improved comfort!(last years cartels were uncomfortable for many) I also put both Skybacks on a scale and the Sky 2 is a few ounces lighter...

Mid-flex,,,,soft enough for park, yet stiff enough for bombing/wide open bowls. Insane POP-on carves and natural hits. Very easy/fun board to ride. Holds and edge at speed with Minimal chatter(Paired with Burton P1's/Ions) I've ridden my 161.5 in deep pow at Beaver Creek, CO,,, WIde open Siberia Bowl at Vail, CO and in an Icy hell at Cascade, WI... This stick can handle ANY condition and it absolutely DESTROYS Ice/hardpack.. Lib is onto something here with their tech... Magnetraction works and then some.. This would be the perfect deck for East Coast/Midwest riders who generally ride in ice/slop/crud. Only issue with this board,, The base came in SUPER dry..I suggest waxing it NUMEROUS times before headind out..--It's improved in speed drastically from when I first rode it with CONSTANT waxing. Other than that, It's an absolute amazing board....

I have the Black P1 in Large and they are generally paired on My Rome Design... Pros: Stable and EXTREMELY comfortable, nice straps, Perfect for any condition and ALL riding. Cons: The FLAD(Forward lean) adjustor is is Very difficult to adjust..Most of the other Burton bindings now have the new Quick flad which is much easier to use.

I own an 08' 162.... I also own a rome, palmer, lib and a burton malolo. This is the fastest of the bunch by far... The Ride/stiffness is similar to a Custom x with a slightly different "feel" due to the alumafly core.. Very underated as an everyday board,, Not as stiff or as hard to ride as most think..VERY precise...Flies great, very light.. Great edge hold on ice, zero chatter straightlining at high speeds...IMPOSSIBLE for anyone on any board to keep up with you in the flats.. NOT for park rats, gapers, noobs and weekend heroes..It will slam you if you don't know what you're doing.. Board looks brand new and the base is in great shape, this includes days in Colorado, Tahoe, wisonsin and pennsylavania... IMO-- Burtons best board..

had last years, this is essentially the same board with the addition of a stronger topsheet made of beans(no joke, check lib's site) & alleged improvements to the base... Destroys the entire mountain, stable at speed, carves on hardpack.. Board kills it anywhere, whether it be at your icy local resort or outer mongolia double black back bowls at Vail...

Excellent pants....Insanely light + functional.. Other pants feel heavy compared to these... They stay dry after 8 hours riding pow... Perfect fit, I would describe them as a "loose" cut = not too baggy =perfect 4 pockets+key clip+ 2 vents-What else could you possibly need?? Got the camo at the beginning of the year and added the black to replace my 20k sessions pants.. An absolute must-own for anyone who rides deeps snow for 6+ hours a day.

Great coat.... tons of pockets,larger fit, allowing you to layer........I have the Yellow...it's super bright allowing your crew/girlfriend to see you in white out conditions.. I've worn it for a full season and it looks mint.. Highly recommended!

I have the 08' 162' and I debuted it at the end of season in an Epic storm at Vail!!It snowed for 48 hours =24+inches of fresh pow I can tell you, the "flying fish" lived up to it's billing in EPIC conditions! Super fun board!! You can just cut and paste the Burton ad from the catalog and that describes the board.....NOTE: I'm 6'2 195lbs and ride a T6 162 as my everyday board...- I Did NOT size down as the catalog suggested...(I'm glad I didn't) Short tail and huge, light shovel-nose allow it to turn, carve and slash at a moment's notice and power over crud, dips, mounds etc. Great control +Float is sick on deep stuff... Feels surfy+smooth with a mid flex... Surprisingly stable on groomed runs... The WFO base on this board is insanely fast...It was impossible for anyone I was riding with to keep up on flats/traverses By the end of the second pow day, I was cursing myself for not picking up one of these sooner... My o8' has not had any delam or any other issues as the past season models.. All in all, a MUST own for storms/powder that also performs on groomed terrain.. A PERFECT addition to any quiver

This is an excellent coat..super warm, In fact, so warm that you can ride with a just a base layer under it.....It also doubles as a great coat to wear around town.... Its also technical with a waist gaiter and pit zips.... A Great all around coat
