When I bought this board, I was looking for a daily driver. A board I can use in a variety of conditions and terrains to feel in control, but also not work myself to death turning or popping. I was also looking something for that is geared toward big mountain riding: steep pitches, tight turns, littered with side hits and... Read more

The Hometown Hero features a hybrid rocker/camber profile, with a rocker nose and tail and camber underfoot. This profile provides excellent float in powder, while still providing good edge control and responsiveness on hardpack. The 3D contoured based allows for additional edge hold and float in powder. It is ideal for an intermediate to advanced rider looking for a medium/stiff... Read more
Ideal for
- great for freeriding in powder, cruising on groomers, and even hitting jumps and rails in the park.
- unique 3D Contoured base design that provides excellent edge hold and stability, especially on hardpack and icy conditions.
- board's directional shape, set-back stance, and rocker profile make it easy to float on deep powder and maintain speed.
Not ideal for
- fairly stiff board, which may not be suitable for beginner riders or those who prefer a more playful ride.
- designed to be ridden in one direction, which means that it may not perform as well for switch riding

Codie Horn tested this product
The Burton Hometown hero is your all mountain board that leans a little more to the free riding side.
The set back bindings give the nose a little more float in order to keep you on top of the POW on those big dump days. It's a great carving board that will hold a great line at high speeds. ... Read more
Ideal for
- Riding all resort terrain
- side hits and between the trees
- carving and good float in the nose
Not ideal for
- doesn't ride switch great
- keep it out of the park
- longer nose and shorter tail

5 /5
I said I wanted a setup on a budget, I'm in collage and work full time so It's not like I am going to be on the mountain every week. Tired of renting gear. Tyler didn't try to upsell me, at least it didn't feel like it. The board I came to him with he mentioned my toe would be over the edge of the board because it was narrow, thankfully he caught that, but he gave me some other options that were around the same price (actually cheaper) and would work with my boot size!

5 /5
Ethan was extremely helpful and made shopping for skis easy. I wasn’t quite sure what skis I needed, but after a quick survey, he had the best options for me. He even made a quick video explaining each ski and why it would be the best for me. I always feel like salesman always try and sell you the most expensive products and don’t necessarily listen to you, but that is not the case at all! He found exactly what I needed in my price range! Highly recommend.

Taylor is THE best!
5 /5
Taylor remained with me throughout the entire shopping process. I first started chatting with her last year when I became more interested in snowboarding and was in the gathering information stage. She was more than helpful and recommended certain products that aligned with my ride style as well as experience. She was quick to respond and had great insight of every product that she recommended to me. Simply put, I probably wouldn't have purchased the products I did without her guidance. I can't wait to use my new products out on the slopes. Thank you, Taylor!!!

I had the best experience with Sarah! She helped me put together my entire new snowboard kit. I told her all of my preferences and she gave me recommendations that would best suit my wants and needs. All of her recommendations were helpful! She helped me with sizing, shared guides and videos to help find my perfect measurements. She is also awesome to talk to! She's positive and personable - we even talked about our dogs :) .... 10/10!

5 /5
When I first found Curated and entered my details and was contacted by a sales rep, I was hesitant as I didn't want to have to deal with some pushy sales person. Well, my experience the complete opposite to any typical engagement with a sales person. Sarah was never pushy, always accommodating, happy to answer any questions and just generally a great person to speak with. I would highly recommend her to any snowboarder looking for new gear or even just great advice.
