This winter, novice snowboarders will now be able to participate in an LTR program close to home. Because newbies can link turns in the very first lesson, LTR has been widely accepted by major resorts around the country. These resorts are excellent additions to an already strong list of partner resorts we have established since the inception of the Learn To Ride Program back in 1998. The core of the program is a lot more than just a really good snowboard instructor and small classes.
Technology plays a huge part.
Working with AASI instructors, Burton has developed LTR products specifically designed to teach students how to ride and achieve the goals of the program. Step-In boots, all designed to work together for convenience, comfort and performance. A two-snowboard program, LTR features two innovative boards designed to let riders carve as soon as possible. They start with the LTR, an ultra-soft, twin tip board with advanced sidecut and extra long transition zones. This can help riders get used to the feel of linking turns.
