2009 BURTON LUX SNOWBOARD
2009 Burton Lux-
I rode this board last week at Mt. Hood and to be quite honest I was surprised with it. First off I was feeling like this board was going to be too soft for me. However, when I jumped on the 150 2009 Burton Lux and took my first turns on it I was was blown away with the responsiveness. After a few little jibs on the run I can say that this board is a great board for some one that doesn't have deep pockets but still wants a great freestyle twin board. The Super Fly core is awesome in this board and it will help you make those perfect turns. The new High-Density Lightspeed Vison base will keep you moving even if you forgot to wax, you board not your.........legs. Enjoy the ride girls!

2009 BURTON CUSTOM X SNOWBOARD
I rode the Burton Custom X snowboard this past season at Alpine Meadows and Kirkwood Ski resort, and why might I have ridden the board at 2 different demos? Just b/c I was surprised at how fun the board was to ride. I had a Palmer Pulse last season and really loved the way the board rode the entire mountain but alas a rock claimed that stick so on to bigger and better. The custom felt a little too soft and the T6 felt a bit to directional for my liking but the Custom X felt just right. Burton added the NEW Carbon Vaporskin™ with Triax™ Response Fiberglass and Carbon I-Beam™. Which just means the board will be more responsive with the I beam and lighter with Vaporskin. Throw in the ICS binding system and your in for a truly fun ride. The ICS will take a little getting used to, with its unlimited binding widths and angles but once you dial bindings and board your in for a great all mountain freestyle machine.Labels: 2009 Burton Custom X, 2009 Burton Snowboards, Product Reviews

2009 B by Burton Alpha
2009 B by Burton Alpha-
I recently rode the B by Burton Alpha at Mt. Hood and I will say that for me this freestyle board would be a fun twin for the pow!. With a scoop pro-tip nose this board maneuvers through the snow magnificently. The tip also helps you get your jib on without feeling like you might catch up and break your neck! The twin shape of the B by Burton Alpha helps you hit jumps and butter with ease and confidence. Check it out today and you might have a new love!

2009 Burton Lexa EST
2009 Burton Lexa EST-
Last week at Mt. Hood I also rode the Lexa EST binding. I do have to say that I like the board feel of the EST system. The canted living hinge Hi-back on the the Lexa EST defiantly helps you power through the turns. I had these bindings set up on a 2009 Feelgood and they felt great, he he he. I usually ride a mens binding because I do like higher backs, but this binding has opened me up to the world of womens bindings. Especially with Burtons women's specific True Fit I think I will be making the move to a gender specific binding.

2009 Burton Stigma
2009 Burton Stigma
I just got back from Mt. Hood and while I was there I rode the 2009 Stigma. This board for the price is funtastic. With Rail Ready edges you won't be scared to step up and hit that rail you have been eyeballing. I had a blast on the Stigma and I wished I could have ridden some more park on it. The pro tip and tail make it easier to swing the board around so "getcha" spin on!

2009 Burton Fix-
I rode this board last spring at Alpine Meadows. It is not a woman's specific board but it doesn't matter, this board was fun. The Burton Fix has a Scoop convex nose to make buttering, well..... as smooth as butter. The Burton Fix comes Rail Ready with edges that won't catch you up on the kinks. Get a Burton Fix today and get ready for funtastic park shredding!

K2 T9 TOUGH LUV
I Skied the K2 T9 Tough Luv (167cm)at the demo days at Kirkwood and they rip plain and simple. The conditions were firm but I never thought for a second that they wouldn't hold their edge. There was no chattering going down the steeps with the K2 T9 Tough Luv. (They have a wood core with metal laminate) I mostly skiied them on the groomed runs due to the conditions. The ride was smooth and turn initiation was effortless, they are 88 mm under foot and seemed like they were more like 68mm in how quick they were. After skiing a lot of wimpy women's skis this one blew me away. The K2 T9 Tough Luv is such a versatile ski it could be the lone ski in your quiver, you can take this ski anywhere and it won't let you down.-KK
