Forbes.com apparently has a little section where they ask a couple questions of someone with an odd, interesting, or strange job. Tucked in between a “pinball inspector” and a “truck maker” is Steve Coulter, a “snowboard maker” from Burton’s Manufacturing Center in Williston, VT.
Someone told me that every snowboard I make brings a smile to a persons face. That’s a lot of smiles! I find it very rewarding to make something from parts to a finished product. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been making snowboards for so long. The more I make the more I love making them.
Nice to be reminded that Burton is still making some snowboards in the USA.

samples, custom boards, protos, special team boards, etc, the rest not in usa, I really don’t think they do any production there but not 100% sure
burton makes tons of boards in vermont and quebec. tons in europe too, almost none in china but thats what you’re trying to imply, right? pretty weak.
Hey dummy, China makes a good product, what would the problem be? Please note my comment of not being sure where production was these days. You sound pretty weak and upset over it all, its just snowboards bra!
Burton makes most of its boards in Vermont, Canada and Austria. I am proud to support a brand like Burton that still cares about its core market and produces quality products in the good ol USA!
You can say what you want about the big B, but without them snowbrucing would not be the same.
Thanks Burton!
Burton actually makes less than 30% of it’s boards in the USA.
Just wanted to clarify Ty’s “most of its boards” comment.
