Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard 2027

The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero is the ultimate quiver killer — one board built to handle every situation the mountain throws at you. Its directional camber profile delivers precise edge control and explosive pop on groomers and hardpack, while a rockered nose provides effortless float when the snow piles up. Despite its freeride-oriented shape, a symmetrical twin flex lets you ride it switch all day without hesitation. A 45-degree carbon highlight laminate runs tip to tail, adding torsional stiffness and unmatched snap, while the recycled sintered WFO base is built for speed. Balanced Freeride Geometry means the sidecut is centred on the stance for a twin-like feel flat, becoming directional the moment you put it on edge. The 2027 features an artwork collaboration from artist Bosco Sodi.

Our Testers Say: "A smooth, surfy freeride board that feels incredibly natural in soft and slushy snow. It combines a planted, driveable rear foot with playful turn initiation, making it equally happy slashing banks or linking flowing turns. A fantastic all-round soft snow tool." At Snowtrax, we try to test every ski and snowboard on the mountain before it hits our shelves, so we know it lives up to the hype. This hands-on testing across different riding styles and terrain gives our staff real expertise, letting them recommend gear based on what a customer actually needs, not just a catalogue rundown.
