Burton Snowboards has announced the imminent launch of the Burton Mystery Series, describing it as “a bold new beginning for the legendary Burton U·S·Open and the start of a reimagined future that’s unlike anything else in snowboarding events.” Throwing away the rules, it will focus on “what matters most: creativity, self-expression, and good times - all under a cloak of mystery that’s unique to each event.” Burton has collected feedback from its team riders for this new program, which is intended to grow into a global series of snowboarding events that are open to all levels of riders. It will culminate in a “pinnacle Burton Mystery event that includes elements from the global grassroots events and features the world’s best riders.” In contrast with the previous U.S. Open, it will be “ideally” held in a different country each year. “An open mind is all you need,” says Burton in a short teaser on youtube.
