The backcountry holds a dirty little secret that Big Snowboard Inc™ doesn’t want you to know. The truth is, it’s not all rainbows and white rooms. In fact, it’s kinda hard. For every pristine 2k of untouched pow, there’s 10k of refrozen slop. For every panoramic, bluebird mountaintop, there are 10 blustery ridgelines that send you scrambling for the puffy buried deep in your pack. That’s why it pays to have tool like the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Splitboard in your arsenal. It gives you the same the full-on charging, slashing, floating fun of the solid version, but in an upwardly mobile package that’s ready for anything the backcountry throws at you. It won’t make everything easy, but it’ll turn those challenging days into something that looks a whole lot more like fun.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Directional Camber – A blend of rocker and camber in the nose combines float and control while camber under the back foot drives with power and stability.
Flex
Directional Flex – This flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.
Medium – Aggressive
Shape
Directional – The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.
Balanced Freeride Geometry – Balanced Freeride Geometry ends the debate between twin and directional with setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.
Pro-Tip – A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.
12mm Taper
Core
FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700G Split Core – Stronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.
Squeezebox – Burton’s most versatile Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable and easier to manipulate.
Laminates
45° Carbon Highlights – Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides more aggressive ride.
Base
Recycled Sintered WFO – Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.

Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
