Need For Speed! Burton Takes Adaptive Snowboarding To The Next Level With Holly Palmer

Posted on 5 Aug, 2022

Introducing adaptive snowboarder Holly Palmer…

Holly faced many challenges while snowboarding as she continued to be limited by the products she was riding. Enter, Burton!

This winter, Burton, Thredbo and Disabled Winter Sports Australia teamed up to bring Holly to Thredbo for the first time, with the goal to make her snowboarding experience more accessible.

Burton created custom snowboarding gear for Holly and with the help of Thredbo’s talented instructors, she made some serious progress during her time here!

 The biggest thing is: if you really want to do something, you can. Nothing’s stopping you. It may take years, but if you really want to do it you can, and you will.
