History of the tiny snowboard!
Posted by Jodi Saeland on December 5, 2011Way back in the day, snowboards were made by just taking an adult board and making it smaller. Not any more! Have you wondered how it is that boards are easier to learn on and why even at 3, kids catch on? I chatted with the Burton folks who made it possible.

Bren becomes a snowboarder at 4 at Canyons! A special Burton board for the little guys!
Posted by Jodi Saeland on April 12, 2011I'm going to be the first to admit; I know nothing about snowboarding. But, I think I'm about to. Bren has asked to so "surfboarding" for awhile. See, for him, it's a surfboard. I'm a skier and I'll be honest, have really no desire to try boarding. I can barely navigate straight down the hill on my skis, how would I do it falling on my rear and sliding sideways? I'll leave it to my little guy.
So, when a few months ago I found out about The Burton Riglet Tour at the Canyons, I had to check it out. It was a mini snowboard park set up for kids as young as 3 to try boarding. Keep in mind, that also means there needs to be a tiny board for them. Burton has introduced an 80 cm board for the little guys.

Burton Riglet Park at Canyons Resort
Posted by Tim on January 11, 2011For those of us with kids the thought of getting them on the snow is exciting, but, also a little frustrating. With getting boots, helmets, goggles, mittens, dragging them up the slope, trying to tell them how to ride, it's easy to forget that this is supposed to be fun! Burton was in town last week with 2002 Winter Olympic Gold Medalist Ross Powers to introduce some of the new innovations they've come up with to help get younger kids shredding and to make life a little easier on parents as well. Check it out.
