How can you ski on a moutain with boarders and not see 686 all the time? It isn't a small company at all, and I see their stuff all over. It is really nice though.

dunno. no one where i live except the dedicated people care about their gear. and the only dedicated people i know are skiers,so you could understand why i wouldnt see it that much. plus people who are willing to buy nice gear usually get some burton.not hatin on burton,but their gear is nice,but its WAAAY overpriced

Burton aint that great, especially for the price. I usually feel like people who aren't in the know buy Burton because of the reputation and they figure for the price it must be good.
