While Burton is constantly addressing the problem of accessibility (through Chill and our recent support of public snowboard parks) it would be misguided to believe that our slope’s homogeneity is just an accessibility problem. There is also a cultural belief that snowboarding is for white people. As a leader in the industry, we can help change that. By inviting people that profoundly influence global culture, we can shift the perception of our sport.
In 2021, we launched Culture Shifters as an annual snowboarding event that brings together BIPOC people from all walks of life, including professional athletes, musicians, and journalists. Led by Selema Masekela, Zeb Powell, and the Burton team, the goal of this event is to expand the culture of snowboarding.
Burton has also committed $300,000 over three years to increase BIPOC representation in snowboarding. This commitment comes after a partnership with Virgil Abloh, American fashion designer, entrepreneur, and the first Black man to be an artistic director for Louis Vuitton.
