Working for Burton has its perks. There's a demo closest to try out any gear you want, you can bring your dog to work, there's free coffee, and perhaps best of all -- work gets cancelled when it snows a lot. Normally 'a lot' means more than 24 inches in 24 hours, but when Thursday brought 16-ish inches, the big boss (Jake) decided to make Friday an official powder day. While it's still low tide at our local mountain, Stowe, this latest storm opened up a few spots in the woods and made for a pretty excellent powder day. Thanks for the day off Jake.
