In depth
The Burton Process snowboard has long stood as a favorite among riders who want a board capable of doing it all without sacrificing performance in any single discipline. Built with Burton's signature camber profile, specifically the Camber profile blended with subtle rocker elements in certain years' iterations, the Process delivers a lively, poppy feel underfoot that rewards aggressive carving while still forgiving enough for playful jibbing around the mountain. The construction leans on Burton's premium materials, including a fiberglass layup and a core built from a blend of wood species chosen for their balance of flex and snap, giving the board a responsive character whether you're laying into groomers or popping off natural side hits. What sets the Process apart within Burton's lineup is its directional twin shape, a design choice that speaks to riders who move fluidly between freestyle tricks and all-mountain exploration. The nose and tail are shaped to allow switch riding without feeling like an afterthought, yet the slight directional bias gives it a planing advantage in softer snow that a true twin often lacks. Underfoot, Burton's Frostbite edges provide reliable grip on the inevitable icy patches that show up on groomed runs, while the base material is engineered for speed retention across a variety of snow conditions, from packed powder to spring slush. Riders who gravitate toward the Process tend to be intermediate to advanced snowboarders looking for a quiver-of-one board that can handle a resort day featuring groomers in the morning, park laps at midday, and a few powder turns off-piste in the afternoon. The flex pattern sits in a medium range, stiff enough to hold an edge at speed but forgiving enough to butter and press without excessive effort. Paired with Burton's reputation for durable construction and consistent quality control, the Process remains a dependable choice for anyone wanting a versatile, well-crafted snowboard that performs across the full spectrum of winter mountain terrain.
Customer reviews
Switched to the Process from a softer twin and the difference in edge hold is night and day. Carves like a dream on groomers and still holds its own in a few inches of fresh snow.
This board rewards good technique. As an intermediate rider I had to adjust to the camber but once I did, the pop and stability at speed became addictive. Not for total beginners though.
Three seasons in and this board still performs like new. The sintered base is fast once waxed properly. Handles chopped up afternoon snow better than any board I've ridden.
If you like to charge hard and carve big turns, this is your board. It's stiffer than I expected coming from a park board, but the stability at high speed is impressive.
