PAVED is Burton’s most ambitious film in years—a snapshot of this generation’s contribution to the legacy of backcountry freestyle snowboarding. Opening with a nod to the brand’s roots, the story drops straight into Alaska, where veterans Mark McMorris and Danny Davis ride alongside all-terrain icons Mikkel Bang, Ben Ferguson, and Brock Crouch. From there, the journey expands across Japan’s deep powder, the wilds of British Columbia, Tahoe, and beyond.

From high-stakes heli-drops to hand-built booters, the riding hits snowboarding’s highest level, but the tone stays loose, light, and occasionally ridiculous. Guided by a narrator with a dry wink, PAVED drifts between heavy sessions and off-hand moments, where the mountains shape the mood and the riders’ voices reveal what’s really on their minds. Each destination adds a new layer to the story, revealing the personalities and dynamics that drive the crew.

At its core, PAVED is part history lesson, part hangout, part backcountry odyssey. Raw and wry, cinematic yet light-hearted, it’s packed with progression and heavy tricks—but what endures is the culture and collective spirit: this crew, these moments, and proof that style means nothing without soul.

A Burton and Red Bull Media House Co-Production directed by Ian Durkin and produced by Pirate Movie Productions, PAVED blends mixed media, photography, and illustration into an unfiltered portrait of snowboarding at its purest—stories of resilience, first-time debuts, and progression on some of the most breathtaking terrain on Earth, plus unreleased footage of Burton’s upcoming winter collection.
