The Burton US Open was one for the books. This was no doubt one of the highlights of my snowboarding experiences to date. Vail is one the largest resorts I’ve ridden. Endless terrain for all different skill levels with enough in the back bowls to keep even the hardest chargers from ever getting bored. It’s also the most expensive at $199 for an adult lift ticket. Thankfully some good will and good vibes got me 1/2 price passes for Friday and Saturday and premiere parking right at the base of Golden Peak where all the festivities were taking place.
The Burton US Open is without a doubt the highlight of the snowboarding season for riders and the community. Most of the best freestyle snowboarders come to Vail every year for this event. If you want to see the most insane and progressive park and pipe riding, this is the place to be. Vibes were high as I got to meet and vibe with many amazing people and got to see the boys and girls SEND.
A few highlights of my experience for the weekend are below. There’s way too much to capture in a brief vid, so you’ll hafta meet me on the hill next year.
