Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Burton Skeleton Key leans more freeride. The Burton After School Special uses a twin shape while the Burton Skeleton Key is directional. The Burton After School Special has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Burton Skeleton Key uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton Skeleton Key is noticeably stiffer at 5/10 versus the Burton After School Special's 2/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
