2027 Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard

The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero is a directional all-mountain daily driver built to handle everything from tight trees to icy lines. Its directional camber and tapered shape blend dependable pop and edge hold with enough float to carry you through deeper snow.

Why we like it:

It is a true quiver-of-one, feeling lively and confident across every condition while still floating the nose when the snow piles up.

Who it's for:

It fits intermediate to advanced riders who want one versatile board that can ride the entire mountain in any condition.

Highlights:

The Hometown Hero uses Burton's Directional Camber bend, pairing camber underfoot with a rockered nose so it stays stable and poppy on firm snow while floating more easily in powder. Its Freeride Directional shape centers the stance for a twin, freestyle feel on flat base, then turns tight and quick with directional float once you set it on edge. The Super Fly II 700G dual-species core keeps it light and energetic, and Dualzone EGD orients the fiberglass to boost edge hold and response where you need it. Strategically placed glass stiffens the nose and tail for crud-busting power, and the sintered WFO base keeps the board fast across changing snow.

Things to consider:

With a directional shape and taper, it favors riding forward over switch, so a rider focused mainly on park and switch riding may prefer a true twin.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Hometown Hero is a versatile directional board with a centered stance, so most riders can stick with their usual length. Riders who want extra float and stability for powder and bigger terrain can size up, while those who prioritize quick, nimble turns in trees and tight spots can size down slightly. Wide sizes are available for riders with larger boots.
