2027 Burton Family Tree Time Thief Snowboard

The Burton Family Tree Time Thief is a directional all-mountain board that blends big-mountain control with a playful, forgiving ride. Inspired by the terrain of the Alps, it turns the whole mountain into a playground of side hits and open faces.

Why we like it:

It feels nimble and easygoing at slower speeds yet holds plenty of stability when you charge into powder bowls or send bigger natural features, so it is fun to ride whether you are cruising or pushing it.

Who it's for:

It fits intermediate to advanced riders who want one versatile board for all-mountain riding, natural features, and the occasional powder day.

Highlights:

The Time Thief pairs Burton's Directional Camber bend with a Freeride Directional shape, placing camber underfoot with a rockered nose that floats in soft snow while a centered stance keeps a twin, freestyle feel underfoot. A larger sidecut radius and softer torsional flex make it quick and playful at lower speeds, then settle into stable, confident turns when you open it up on bigger terrain. The Super Fly II 700G dual-species core keeps swing weight low and pop high, while Dualzone EGD boosts edge hold and response, and the sintered WFO base keeps it fast. The Channel mounting system works with all major bindings so you can fine-tune your stance.

Things to consider:

It is tuned as a playful all-mountain freeride board, so a rider who wants a stiff, hard-charging big-mountain board or a dedicated park deck may prefer a more specialized shape.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Time Thief has a forgiving, playful personality with a centered stance, so most riders can stay with their usual length. Those who want more float and stability for powder and bigger terrain can size up, while riders who prioritize quick, nimble turns and side hits can size down slightly.
