I switched to snowboarding when my wife got a Burton custom for me 24 years ago when we were dating. Now we snowboard with our 3 sons. It’s great family time in a hectic world. It’s like therapy for me!
Our youngest son’s middle name is Burton and they were so excited to see the facility in Burlington a few years ago.
It’s truly amazing when you can invent a completely new way to enjoy the outdoors.
Today is my birthday and my wife got me Burton step on boots and bindings!
Our oldest son lives in Salt Lake City now, so I plan to visit him and use them this winter!
(I gave my wife step on boots and bindings for Christmas 👍🏼)

Dear Rider,

It’s me again, McPAin, somehow I’ve made it all the way to Alaska and have been living here achieving my dreams and goals for over a year now. I miss Stowe so much the last few weeks, forever grateful for my time there, I only wish that our paths had crossed while I was in Stowe. Thank You for always listening to my prayers to you and for always being on my side. Thank you for this lifestyle you’ve blessed me with. Ride On.

Dear Jake,

Thank you for creating a space which I found comfort and peace in.

From small hills in Saskatchewan to moving closer to the mighty mountains of The Rockies, you gave me a gift that will always be there for me.

In low dark times, I know if I head towards those mountains and ride on fresh snow while along side those trees and pure nature I will find myself again.

Thank you for giving me a safety to my sanity.
