Burton Fortress Snowboard - Women's - 2011/2012

For those who play like the pros, the fast and superlight Burton Fortress snowboard is a confident choice in terrain that's big and icy, sketchy and steep, or just plain cracked. Podium powerhouse Kelly Clark harnesses every ounce of this board's explosive pop and silky smooth handling. Pillowy damping reduces fatigue for more endurance while all-wheel drive edge tech and mind-reading responsiveness team up to bring out the best in anyone who steps on it. Burton designs womens boards to match the geometry and fitness of the female rider; torsional softness underfoot transitions to stabilizing zones between and outside the feet. Snappy positive camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth continuous edge control from tip to tail, poppy precision and powerful turning. Directional shape concentrates pop in the tail and offers plenty of overall float and control; twin flex makes riding regular or switch simple. The Channel M6 system offers unlimited, on-the-fly stance adjustability, enhances board feel and is compatible with EST(TM), Re:Flex(TM) and Disc(R) bindings. The Channel lets you fine-tune your stance width to the millimeter, and then dial in your toe-to-heel centering and rotate your angles in 1 fell swoop. 500 independent laminations, each individually oriented within the core, result in superior weight savings, strength and energized response. Multi-zone wood grains run perpendicular to the core adjacent to the Channel (where the rider's power emanates) for ultimate strength and edge control. Small amounts of carbon in the minimized topsheet shave precious ounces off the board and magnify feel and response; fiberglass strengthens high-impact zones. Hi-Voltage fiberglass energy strands radiate outward from the Channels to the board's edges, providing driving power and effortless response.
