For a guy who’s ridden all over the world for the past 24 years to have to narrow down his favorite places to ride powder, Terje Haakonsen did pretty good. Some places are more reachable for the average person and others he wasn’t quite willing to release yet.

Snowboarder Magazine’s Battle of the Brands is back this year, and it’s better than ever. Instead of just letting brand’s team ride Superpark, they have to put together a team edit as well. The sweet 16 tournament goes pretty much all summer, so be sure to keep checking snowboardermag.com and vote for your favorites. In case you were wondering, Burton’s video drops next Monday, June 24th
Burton riders are known to travel to all parts of the earth to snowboard, but when Mikkel Bang posted up a photo on Instagram showing line after line of untracked…sand, we had to figure out what the deal was. Turns out he was in Dubai…
As Burton’s Archivist, Todd Kohlman is not only in charge of knowing more Burton history than Jake himself and giving guided tours of the Craig Kelly Proto lab, he’s also in charge of organizing, categorizing, and keeping track of at least one of everything Burton has ever produced. Some quick cocktail napkin math would show that…Burton started in 1977…so 2013-1977=36 years…then 36 x…anyway…that’s a lot of stuff. A trip over to the archives is always interesting and you never know what you’ll find…

Here are some of the more memorable hairstyles from over the years.
