Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top vs Burton Family Tree Pow Wrench

How they compare

Both target powder terrain, while the Burton Family Tree Pow Wrench leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel. The Burton Family Tree Pow Wrench is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
