  • The Burton Skeleton Key Snowboard is a great freeride/all-mtn choice for deep days, riding in the trees, and searching for natural freestyle terrain alike. This is a snowboard that is going to be able to tackle technical steeps and float in powder, without having an overly aggressive ride. You'll get a very manageable feel with this board, and it will provide performance through a wide variety of conditions and situations. The Skeleton Key is very similar to the Deep Thinker, but has a bit more of a directional build that will offer more performance for freeriding and powder. This video was filmed February 2019.

    Hell yeah, stoked you finally released the review on the Skeleton Key! Been riding one all season, it's honestly my favorite board I've ever ridden. It can absolutely rail turns on hardpack as well, not just a pow board. It can seriously ride anything. It became my daily driver out of my 3-board quiver. Also rode a Deep Thinker 160 and Kilroy Custom 158.

    Debating whether to get the Skeleton key or the Burton Custom Camber. Looking for an all mountain board that will do it all, ride mostly in east coast but take a couple trips out West. What would you recommend?

    • @je5406
      @je5406 5 лет назад +2

      I'm 200 lbs and I rode the 158 all last year. I scored multiple 1ft plus powder days and even a few 2ft plus days and this board crushed it. I was able to remain balanced on the board and I never felt any strain on my back foot. The agility in trees is amazing and It does great on soft groomers too. I rode it on one or two icy days and that was the only time I felt like I had to dial down my turns. I think if I had adjusted out of my powder stance it might have done better on the cold hard pack.

    Would you recommend switching to a park specific boot for park days? I mean you often switch your snowboard out to a park specific one, is it worth doing with boots as well. Like is having a quiver of boots any good idea? Or do you just use one boot for every style of riding you do?

    • @BoardArchive
      @BoardArchive  5 лет назад +1

      I go with one boot that works well for everything, a nice mid flex standard lace boot. Having a stiffer boot on deck for big mountain riding could be worth it, but for me I think its more trouble than its worth.

I'm not really sure though if I should have gone with the 154 instead. I presume you and your buddies did ride the shite out of it. Should I keep(and unwrap) the 150 or should I go monday morning and change it for a 154?, what do you think?, cheers!

I did manage to try the SK but not in any powder and hands down the Orca was just way more fun on the piste, post powder crud, boardercross and any other snow I tried it on.
