Burton Blossom vs Burton Cartographer

How they compare

the Burton Blossom leans more freestyle, while the Burton Cartographer leans more all mountain/freeride. The Burton Blossom uses a twin shape while the Burton Cartographer is directional twin. The Burton Blossom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Cartographer uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton Cartographer is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $499.95 vs $559.95 MSRP, the Burton Cartographer is the more budget-friendly option.
