The Michigan Snowboard Museum is about snowboard history in the Winter Wonderland of the Great Lakes State... and beyond! Despite our small hill stature, Michigan holds a significant place in snowboard history. Whether it be board history, design, artwork, manufacturers, materials, technological progression, accessories, advertisements, innovators, industry professionals, pros, legends or notable amateurs - you'll likely find something of interest.
THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THE SITE LOOSE & FUN - JUST LIKE SNOWBOARDING ITSELF. THERE'S NO INTENT to gain "likes" or count "site visits" - JUST TRYING TO GET some local BOARDS and rare BOARDs OUT THERE, AND give a little boost to NON-PROFIT BOARD SPORT ORGS in mi, EDUCATE THOSE INTERESTED in the local history, RECOGNIZE ATHLETES & INDUSTRY FOLKS, "whatever" related to michigan snowboarding.
The museum came about from a desire to hang one old Burton on the wall of a shred chalet "up north". As collectors of anything understand, the addiction progresses "downhill" rapidly. emphasis is on Burton evolution & decks connected to michigan. we believe the collection represents a solid historical perspective of snowboard evolution, nationally and locally.
