It’s Personal: Three Women on the Gear They’re Riding
We recently gathered at Northstar California Resort for Burton Girls Ride Day, our favorite part of the Burton Mountain Festival. As a group of women who ride and care about their gear, we were curious to see what some of the ladies were riding. Kimmy Fasani and Burton Ambassadors Meg Kee and Kristen Fejtek talked us through their setups from head to toe. Hear it from them, in their own words.

There you have it: Three different styles, three ways to gear up. Maybe this will inspire you to look at your own gear and reevaluate what’s working and what isn’t. Staying warm, dry, and comfortable is key for anyone who wants to snowboard all season long, no matter what the sky is doing.
