Burton Snowboards is the brand that built snowboarding into the sport it is today. Founded in 1977 by Jake Burton Carpenter in a Vermont barn, the company spent decades pushing resorts to allow snowboarding, supporting a team of top riders, and developing the gear that defined the sport across every discipline.
At Empire, we've carried Burton since the very beginning of our business as a Canadian retailer. That's more than 20 years of riding the same product cycles, sharing the same values, and building the kind of product knowledge that actually matters when a customer is trying to choose their next setup. Our staff knows the Burton line in depth, from entry-level boards to the most technically demanding builds in the catalog.
A complete lineup for every rider.
The Burton collection at Empire covers every piece of the equation: snowboards built for every riding style and ability level, bindings engineered for precise power transfer, boots that balance warmth with response, splitboards for backcountry riders chasing untracked terrain, and a full range of technical winter outerwear designed to perform when conditions get serious. Burton designs and manufactures its products with consistent attention to materials, construction, and real-world performance on snow.
Burton is also the world's first snowboard company to earn B Corporation® certification, a formal recognition of its commitment to sustainable practices across the outdoor and winter sports industries. Headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, with offices in Canada, Austria, Japan, Australia, and China, the brand backs that commitment with concrete choices in materials sourcing, manufacturing processes, and long-term environmental accountability.
Shop in store or online.
The full Burton lineup is available at Empire locations across Quebec, where our team can help match you to the right board, binding, and boot combination based on how and where you ride. The complete collection is also available online at thinkempire.com, with the same range you'd find on the shop floor.
Empire is an authorized Burton retailer. Every product we carry is genuine, covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and stocked because it reflects what our customers are actually looking for on the mountain.
