Burton Snowboards hat am Dienstag bekannt gegeben, dass das Unternehmen aufgrund der anhaltenden Unsicherheiten im Zusammenhang mit der Covid-19-Pandemie die schwierige Entscheidung treffen musste, die Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships 2021 abzusagen. Ursprünglich sollte das weltweit größte Snowboard-Event vom 1. bis 6. März auf dem Golden Peak in Vail Mountain stattfinden.

We have some tough news to share today: We have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 #BurtonUSOpen due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The truth is, we just can’t be sure it will be safe from a public health standpoint for us to host the event next year. The Open is so much more than a snowboarding event – it's a family reunion. We know these reunions will continue to happen in resort parking lots, on chairlifts, on the skin track, at the top of the park, in the woods on a powder day, or anywhere we ride together. Rest assured, the world’s greatest snowboard event will be back, and it will be better than ever.
