Snowboard Kitsch in Alaska

It’s fairly common to see old pairs of skis in hotels and restaurants near or at ski areas,* and of course you may see them in lodges on the hill. But how often do you get to see old snowboards?

The blog Alyeska Lift Crews has a photo of not just one, but six old Burton snowboards, plus one Snurfer. They’re mounted on the wall in the Sitzmark, an establishment of some sort (lodge? restaurant?) at or near the Alyeska Resort. You can see the photo and click through to a full-screen shot here.

* I’m a snowboarder who periodically dons skis, but “ski and snowboard area” is a mouthful.

    There is more boards, and they're signed.

    Thanks for stopping by. Interesting blog you've got, though I haven't had a chance to read much of it.

    You say there are more boards. Are they in similar display cases?

    Who signed them–Jake Burton? Some of the early riders?
