Burton Announces 2022 Global Schedule of New Burton Mystery Series

This First-Ever Global Series of Snowboard Events will Uncover Unknown Riders and Build the Snowboard Community through Creativity, Self-Expression, and Good Times for All.

Burton is excited to announce the 2022 Spring schedule for its first-ever Mystery Series, a bold new global open-format event that’s unlike anything else in snowboarding, and the antidote to elite competitions. This inaugural series will feature nine events across the globe, bringing together riders of all ages and abilities under a shared love of snowboarding to showcase creativity, self-expression, and good times - all under a cloak of mystery.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the new Burton Mystery Series,” commented Burton Team Rider. It has been an awesome experience collaborating with the Burton team on a truly inclusive global concept. I really think it’s going to excite snowboarders of all levels.”
