According to a report by the Burlington Free Press, Smuggler’s Notch report and Vail Resorts have prohibited employees from using Burton’s Love and Primo snowboards, which feature vintage Playboy centerfolds and “cartoonish graphics of self-mutilation.” Vail Reorts, which owns Vail, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Beaver Creek Resort, Keystone Ski Resort in Colorado and California’s Heavenly Mountain Resport, revised its employee policy after concerns were raised about the controversial artwork.
According to the Free Press, the Love and Primo boards, which are sold under Burton’s Coalition Line, are only sold through “core” retailers and are limited edition. The Free Press said Burton sees the boards as collector’s items and doesnt expect them to be a common sight on the slopes.
