Back in 2021 I spent nearly $700 cad on a pair of "top of the line" Burton Ion snowboard boots. I've enjoyed riding with them 10 - 15 days a year over the past 5 seasons but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue I have. On both boots the stitching that holds the toe cap to the boot body has come apart - leading to water intrusion and chilly feet.

I spoke with my local shop today and they connected with their Burton rep who stated that Burton will only warranty boots for 1 year.

I'm pretty disappointed. I bought what I thought was a top of the line boot from a reputable company and I didn't even get 100 days of riding out of them.

So I'm thinking maybe I'll try some Union boots next season.

I love Minnekhada Park in NE Coquitlam. It's a great place for a hike and the views from High Knoll are pretty sweet. But going on the long weekend really makes me wish Metro Vancouver would expand the Quarry road parking lot and generally make some infrastructure improvements to address the fact that this hidden gem is getting popular. And popularity plus a lack of parking makes some people do stupid things.
