Why Choose the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Split Board

Splitboard Design for Backcountry Exploration

The Hometown Hero splits into two ski-like sections for efficient ascents and reconnects quickly for responsive downhill performance. Its directional shape and early rise nose provide effortless float in powder.

Camber/Rocker Profile

A hybrid camber underfoot with rocker at the tip and tail gives edge hold on firm snow while maintaining playfulness and float in deep powder. This makes the board versatile across diverse backcountry conditions.

Lightweight, Durable Construction

Crafted with FSC-certified wood core, reinforced with fiberglass and epoxy, the board is lightweight for easier touring but strong enough to handle aggressive descents.

Eco-Friendly Innovation

Burton prioritizes sustainability, using eco-conscious materials in the Family Tree series without sacrificing performance.
