Burton Snowboards has expanded its partnership with non-profit environmental organisation Protect Our Winters (POW) by donating $50,000 in cash. POW is a coalition of snow sports enthusiasts dedicated to raising awareness and fighting climate change in order to “protect winters”.

Burton has been working with POW since 2011, helping spread awareness of the dangers of climate change to members of the snow sports community and using the voices of its affiliated professional athletes to improve climate legislation. Burton CEO Donna Carpenter has previously joined POW at meetings in Washington to discuss the impact of climate change on the snow sports industry.
