Product Info

As a new offering for the 2017 season, the Burton Family Tree Gate Keeper Snowboard is a big mountain menace that brings previously unrideable lines back into the realm of possibility. A directional camber profile offers the edge hold you need to navigate the steepest entrances while the aggressive rocker through the nose keeps you dreamily afloat once the bowl opens up. With balanced freeride geometry, a stiff directional flex, and the snappy response of 45° Carbon Highlights, the Burton Family Tree Gate Keeper Snowboard opens the door to a whole new world of freeride possibilities.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional CamberA blend of rocker and camber in the nose combines float and control while camber under the back foot drives with power and stability.

Flex

Moderately StiffForgiving in variable conditions, but aggressive on groomers and in powder.

Directional FlexThis flex features increased pop in the tail and a resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.

Shape

Balanced Freeride GeometryTwin or directional is the age-old question for creative rippers like Terje. Balanced Freeride Geometry on the Landlord, Landlord Split, Flight Attendant, Gate Keeper, High Spirits and Anti-Social ends the debate 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 a float and prowess expected from a directional deck.

DirectionalThe classic snowboard shape for fast riding and precise turns. You can go ride powder or big mountain obstacles with ease. Directional boards are designed with a flexible/‘softer’ nose and a stiff tail for ample flotation.

15 mm TaperA tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed, and enhanced deep snow flotation.

Mid WideOptimized around a size US 10 - 10.5 men's boot, the added waist width eliminates toe and heel drag, thus increasing stability and fun.

Core

FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700G CoreStrong and lightweight woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength and reduce weight. FSC™ certification ensures that the wood products are harvested from well-managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Dualzone™ EGD™The wood grain is positioned perpendicularly along the toe and heel edges. Engineered Grain Direction provides you with consistent edge-hold and added strength.

SqueezeboxBurton's Squeezebox improves your boards performance by balancing thicker more powerful core sections in with thinner more flexible sections. Meaning you get enhanced board connectivity, response and predictability.

Laminates

45° Carbon Highlights Hi-VoltageCarbon highlights optimize each layer of the fiberglass by adding a full tip to tail carbon layer. This layer is lightweight, and fine tunes torsional flex. 45° angled fiber makes for a more aggressive ride. Hi-Voltage indicates that this snowboard has an additional layer of carbon strands to the angled fiber layers which add strength, pop and durability.

Base

Recycled Sintered WFOBurton infused specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material. The result is an ultra-durable base that stays fast and furious all season in any conditions.

Topsheet

EcoZen® TopsheetAll Family Tree models feature an EcoZen® topsheet, a hyper clear copolyester material that is created from renewable raw materials.

Additional Features

Infinite Ride™Burton-exclusive technology allows for maximum pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Springloaded, Rocker, or Camber, rest assured that your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Super Sap® EpoxyFeatured on all Family Tree models, Super Sap® is a resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board, which is good in our book.

Binding Compatibility

The Channel™Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable - The Channel™ gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major binding companies (not just Burton’s).
