Northstar California, in partnership with Burton Snowboards has created the only Burton Snowboard Academy in the world.  The program is designed to welcome new riders to the sport, encourage the progression of those already in the sport, and provide a customized experience built around an entirely new terrain-based teaching methodology.

Located mid-mountain at Northstar, the Burton Academy tent and base camp has everything to get you going with all the gear and a lounge for all academy participants to relax and reflect on the days learning experiences.

Just outside the tent is the Big Easy lift and the carefully crafted terrain to make your learning quicker, safer and easier.  Just above the Big Easy and learning terrain is The Stash, a natural terrain park tucked inside the woods and the big terrain parks where coaches will take those who want to progress and push their snowbaording skills.  The Burton Academy is not just for beginners.  There is always more to learn and the coaches at Northstar are some of the best in the industry.
