Burton Skeleton Key 154 2021 Snowboard

A directional utility tool designed to unlock the full spectrum of freeride terrain

The Skeleton Key is the board that almost every Burton Team rider takes on a trip. As a mix of two of the most popular all-terrain Burton boards, the Skeleton Key is made for all kinds of backcountry terrain and loves to carve groomers.

Riding Style
Powder lines and carving groomers, this versatile all-mountain/freeride board is ideal for expert level riders looking for maximum performance.

Shape
Directional is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. A 10 mm tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed, and enhanced deep snow flotation. Pro-Tip is a tapered tip and tail thickness, which reduces swing weight for easier mobility. Balanced Freeride Geometry has a setback camber and a sidecut that is centred on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge, it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.

Profile
The Directional Camber features an entry rocker that causes the nose to lift while camber under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable condition

Flex
Directional Flex increases pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.

Construction
The FSC™ Certified Super Fly II 700G Core features stronger and lighter woods targeting specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight. Additionally, with Dualzone EGD, wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core, for consistent edge-hold and added strength. Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable, and easier to manipulate. Triax Fiberglass ensures a versatile flex and response for everything. At the Sintered WFO Base, the wax is worked deep into the pores of this extremely absorbent, dense material. The result is an extremely durable base that stays wide open in every weather condition the whole season long. Super Sap® Epoxy is a resin formulated with bio-based materials. The Channel® gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton’s). The Burton-exclusive Infinite Ride technology allows Burton to maximise pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
