Every winter, the Burton Mountain Festival offers the most extensive snowboard demo experience in North America and gives riders of all ages the chance to try out Burton’s latest 2016 boards, boots and bindings all for FREE. This is the chance to demo new snowboarding hardgoods at Northstar California all weekend long from knowledgeable product experts who can give recommendations and answer riders’ tech questions. Coinciding with the Burton Mountain Festival is Northstar’s Bash at the Stash event, which will take place on Saturday, Jan. 9.
 
The Bash at the Stash celebration marks the 10 year anniversary of the Stash run at Northstar. Burton Snowboards and Northstar California have partnered to offer this qualifier event featuring roof jams, wooden rails, and a special mix of features for all to enjoy. The event begins at 11 a.m. at the top of The Zephyr Express chair lift, where guests will participate in a tribute run for Craig Kelly, ending at the CK Cabin. The Bash at the Stash will continue until 3 p.m., with an after party at TC’s Pub from 3:30 p.m. – 4 p.m. All details including registration, prizes and scheduling for the Bash at the Stash event are available at NorthstarCalifornia.com.  
 
At all stops, Burton warmly welcomes the ladies to the Burton Girls demo tent to talk one-on-one with female staff and find the perfect custom hardgoods package tailored to their riding style and ability. This is the ideal opportunity to learn more about women’s-specific products, made for women by women, and then try it all out for FREE. The Burton Mountain Festival will also feature Girls Ride Days at select locations, so be sure to visit BurtonGirls.com for a complete list of Burton Girls Ride Days.
 
There’s also something for the whole family at the Burton Mountain Festival, including FREE youth demos and learn to ride opportunities. That means even the smallest kids can expect to find Burton snowboards, boots and bindings sized just for them, as well as the revolutionary Riglet Reel, a specially designed reel attached to the nose of youth snowboards that makes learning to ride easier than ever. Kids as young as three-years-old will have the opportunity to experience snowboarding for the first time in the one-and-only Riglet Park located at Northstar, as well as access to entry level snowboard park features including boxes, ramps and rails with certified snowboard instructors on hand.
 
Not to be missed at the Burton Mountain Festival is the exciting sponsor village area at Northstar’s mid-mountain Lodge at Big Springs with free product samples, interactive games and photo opportunities at the Hawaiian-themed Paul Mitchell dome. Also be sure to stop by the Clif Bar & Company booth for a sample of one of their great-tasting energy bars. And finally, Burton will be running a softgoods giveaway for the first 100 people to demo a full hardgoods setup.
