2020 marks the 38th anniversary of the Burton US Open Snowboarding Competition, and unfortunately it has lost one of its biggest supporters. The founder of Burton Snowboards, Jake Burton Carpenter, passed away on November 20th, 2019. Jake was a pioneer of snowboarding, starting Burton in 1977 out of a simple barn space. From his beginnings as a "Snurfing" enthusiast and skier, to his founding of all things Burton Snowboards athletes know and love today, Jake Burton Carpenter has left an incredible impression on every snowy mountain across the planet. The 2020 Burton US Open will include many special moments, remembering Jake and his legacy.
