The Academy Guarantee

The Academy's commitment to every rider learning how to snowboard is affirmed by our guarantee to get them linking turns on their first day. With more than thirty years of teaching snowboarders and designing equipment to help them learn, Jake Burton and Burton snowboards are committed to creating the best pathway for riders to learn how to link turns and access the mountain with skill.

No Fear Learning

"The Academy process will give you the best chance to become a snowboarder or help you grow your skills to shred snow anywhere!"

The Coaches

We’ve hired the best coaches in the biz to make sure you are in good hands. All of our coaches are snowboard specific and will make sure you get set up from start to finish.

The Terrain

The Academy Terrain Area has several features that are designed to control speed and allow riders to learn how to move their body in dynamic balance while the terrain helps them turn and stop. This terrain will take a lot of the hard work and slams out of the first hour of shredding, allowing riders time to build confidence and trust in themselves, their coach, their equipment, and the snow.
