Photos from the Burton production barn in Manchester including a “to-do list” and inventory for putting together an early board. If one was slacking on the job, they were often relegated to the unpopular task of grinding fins. The job simply labeled as “dip” required respirators, plastic suits and a sealed room. Giving the workers a sensation equal to that of sniffing glue, they were often given a mandatory time out on the front lawn before the handling any heavy machinery.

Rider Matt Mitchell was a fixture on the Stratton Mountain snowboarding scene throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He was an early Allegro instructor and competitor, making a deal with Suzi Rueck in which he could simultaneously instruct and train. Once the lifts closed, Mitchell’s homes were hang out central. From an A-Frame in Rawsonville to a house on Lower Taylor Road to his parents place at Winhall Acres, Mitchell’s house was a home away from home for many. While maintaining a reputation for his revelry, Mitchell was a top-notch instructor and performer. “He was a huge influence in my early years of snowboarding,” Tricia Byrnes recalled. “He just wanted it so badly. He took it really seriously. He was a really good, good friend of ours.”
