It produces over 1,300 unique snowboard shapes and 2,000+ garments for testing purposes annually. It is the most sophisticated R&amp;D facility Burton has ever built, the new space is simply called \u2018Craig\u2019s\u2019 and is located right next door to Burton\u2019s global headquarters. Craig\u2019s is where Burton can take rider feedback, build a prototype with custom machinery and then take it on the snow the next day. The ability to produce and test product daily at Craig\u2019s and then take it to the local Stowe Mountain gives Burton a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yOUbzwmtP-A?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The lab includes a historic retrospective section where people can take a self-guided tour of archived photos, products and videos from the first 30 years of Burton\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5011\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/tourpic.jpg\" alt=\"tourpic\" width=\"259\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/tourpic.jpg 332w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/tourpic-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5010\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/tour.jpg\" alt=\"tour\" width=\"279\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.burton.com\/on\/demandware.store\/Sites-Burton_US-Site\/default\/Craigs-Schedule\" class=\"sc-button bg-blue color-white\" target=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t   \t\t<span><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t    <\/a>??<a href=\"http:\/\/www.burton.com\/default\/craigs\" class=\"sc-button bg-blue color-white\" target=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t   \t\t<span><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t    <\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;\">(Images Courtesy of Burton.com)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burton\u2019s state-of-the-art prototype facility, located in Vermont, is dedicated to the late snowboard icon Craig Kelly.
