Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero vs Lib Tech T. Rice Pro

How they compare

Both target freeride terrain, while the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero leans more powder, while the Lib Tech T. Rice Pro leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Lib Tech T. Rice Pro is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
