Burton Snow Boards
Jake moved to Londonderry, Vermont in the early 1970s and began to make Burton Snowboards with his cofounder Dimitrije Milovich. Getting permission from Vermont ski areas to allow snowboards or “surfboards” on their hills, proved to be an interesting challenge.
Suicide Six Ski Area (which has since been re-named) in Pomfret was the first. Stratton, Stowe, Killington, and Jay Peak followed. The snowboarding craze began – pushed by “popular demand” a new sport was born.
http://amzn.to/2lbmWik The original Burton store was located in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Burton now operates more than 1,500 retail stores worldwide. Burton stores sell Burton snowboards and other Burton products – some with the Burton label others not. Other brands of snowboard accessories are available like; Anon Optics, RED helmets, Analog outerwear, and Gravis footwear.
Burton Snowboards were manufactured in Vermont until 2010 when the company moved manufacturing to Austria.
