The 2020 Burton line has been dropping these last few weeks, with the full line-up of Step-On products going live on November 4.

This year CSP members will have access to discounts up to 40 per cent on Step-On boots and bindings. Check out the Burton product offerings on the pro deals page in the members-only area of the CSP website. A full product review from my test time is also included on that page.

While testing the Step-On technology while patrolling and coaching over the course of last season, I was blown away by the ability that this equipment has to drastically improve the mobility and utility patrolling on a snowboard. The ability to step directly into a secure attachment to the board, without pausing to do up ratchet straps, eliminates a mental barrier in place in some resort environments regarding the usefulness and abilities of snowboarding members.

The best part of the whole Step-On package was that there was almost zero trade-off between convenience and technical binding ability. Not only are the Step-On bindings the most convenient and fastest way go from wandering around to snowboarding, but the performance and board feel were also greatly improved from traditional binding systems.
