We learned so much about Tahoe and Burton in this episode. Dave discovered splitboarding as a way to get powder and he pushed Burton to develop their own splitboarding models, and helped Craig discover splitboarding in the process. His experience in the backcountry and love of powder gave us a new perspective, and for that we are grateful, thanks Dave!
