After seeing Mark McMorris’<\/strong> performance at the O’Neill Evolution slope air<\/a><\/strong> we knew it would only be a matter of time before things began falling into place for the Canadian.<\/p>\n

Mark paid his first visit to Burton\u2019s home base in Vermont last week to check out HQ and meet product managers. After his visit, Mark had this to say, \u201cI\u2019m really stoked to be riding the best products with the most progressive team in the business,\u201d said Mark. \u201cSince I got on the program, I\u2019ve already been working with such great people that all share a strong love for snowboarding, and I wouldn\u2019t want to be anywhere else.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Burton also hooked up Osceola, Wisconsin rail-slayer Ethan Deiss<\/strong> (pictured above). Both riders will be representing Burton outwear and hardgoods on the AM team. Follow the jump for more detailsBurton Snowboards Welcomes Mark McMorris & Ethan Deiss <\/p>\n

BURLINGTON, VT (January 26, 2011) It\u2019s official \u2013 Canadian Mark McMorris and Wisconsin-native Ethan Deiss are now on Burton\u2019s AM Team, representing Burton outerwear and hardgoods at snowboard contests and film projects around the globe.<\/p>\n

Mark paid his first visit to Burton\u2019s home base in Vermont last week to check out HQ and meet product managers. After his visit, Mark had this to say, \u201cI\u2019m really stoked to be riding the best products with the most progressive team in the business,\u201d said Mark. \u201cSince I got on the program, I\u2019ve already been working with such great people that all share a strong love for snowboarding, and I wouldn\u2019t want to be anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focusing mainly on slopestyle and big air events, Mark will be on the contest circuit all season long and already has a few impressive podiums to claim. So far, he\u2019s earned two second place finishes in slopestyle – one at the Dew Tour stop in Breckenridge and another at this month\u2019s O\u2019Neill Evolution in Davos where he landed a Cab double cork 1260. This past weekend, he was on the podium again after getting third in slopestyle at the Killington Dew Tour stop. Now for the first time, Mark is headed to the Aspen X Games with the rest of the world\u2019s top riders to compete in big air and slopestyle.<\/p>\n

Ethan Deiss\u2019 hometown of Osceola, Wisconsin isn\u2019t exactly known for its mountains. But lack of vertical terrain didn\u2019t keep Ethan from putting together his break-out rail video part in the 2009 snowboard movie \u201cThink Positive\u201d. Now that he\u2019s on the Burton AM team, Ethan is getting his first chance to film with a full-fledged movie project this season. <\/p>\n

During a recent filming trip in Norway, Ethan said, \u201cYou wanna know what\u2019s cool about Burton\u2026Everything. My only regret in snowboarding is not riding for Burton earlier. The product is just so sick.\u201d <\/p>\n
