There is a reason the Burton [ak] line is synonymous with quality. For serious riders, Burton athletes, mountain guides, and those “in the know,” [ak] is the best of the best. It holds the same heavyweight title today that The North Face once held for mountaineering in its prime. When you see that [ak] logo, […]
The UNINC Legacy: From Burton Offshoot to YES Snowboards If you remember the mid 2000’s you might remember a groundbreaking offshoot of Burton Snowboards called UNINC. This was a rider designed and marketed brand led by Romain De Marchi, J.P. Solberg, David Carrier-Porcheron (DCP), Gigi Rüf, Jeff Anderson, and Danny Davis. These guys were on […]
I recently picked out and received three shirts from Poncho Outdoors: two for myself and one for my 7-year-old son. For myself, I selected one shirt from the denim collection, THE FALFURRIAS, and one from the flannel collection, THE POWDER RIVER. Both shirts share standout styling details like mother-of-pearl snaps and western-style shoulder yokes, which give them […]

When Union first came out with split bindings, it was a tectonic shift in splitboarding. Their first round had pins, and its downhill pucks could shift a little. But hot damn did they ride downhill with the fire. Unions were the first ever split bindings I used that rode downhill like a standard solid. The […]
About two years ago, yoga was a whimsical idea that seemed to exclusively include patchouli and tie dye. In recovery from a skating injury I was looking for something both relaxing and healing. However, after poking my head into a few classes I couldn’t bear to step inside. I developed my practice alone in the […]
Choosing a women’s splitboard shouldn’t be about finding a “smaller, lighter” version of a men’s deck. It’s about finding a technical tool designed for the specific center of gravity, flex requirements, and boot sizes of female riders.
