Burton Mystery Series: How to Sign Up & Other FAQs

Nothing brings us more joy here at Burton than seeing snowboarders come together to have as much fun as possible. And that’s ultimately what the Burton Mystery Series is about: getting out on the snow with your community, racing, throwing down with the pros, and most importantly, having fun no matter what your ability level is.

The name, Mystery, comes from our legacy of doing things differently, and references snowboarding legend Craig Kelly. Because we’re pretty sure that Craig would agree with the guiding principles behind this event: accessibility, participation, fun, and having an open mind. Mystery isn’t about standing on top of the podium, although if that’s your thing, more power to you. It’s about pushing yourself to be the best you can be, whether that’s successfully completing the racecourse without falling, or beating your own fastest time.
