Used market
What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Blossom
Women’s park/all-mountain Burton with a smaller used pool than the Feelgood. Listings titled Blossom Camber are the same family — still check the season and base, and do not overpay just because women’s sizes turn over slower.
Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero
Directional Family Tree freeride board. Used supply is thinner than Customs, and split or Smalls versions are different buys. Price the base and nose, not the Family Tree graphic.
