Have your kids hit the slopes this Winter in Star Wars style with a limited-edition line of Burton Snowboards gear based on the movies. The kids-size Chopper Star Wars snowboard ($190) is available in eight image variations, from a noble Yoda to the scene of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker locked in a lightsaber battle. The boards come in a variety of sizes from 30 inches to 51 inches long. To complete the Hoth-ready look is the youth-size R2D2 helmet ($100) that adjusts to any head size and helps to keep goggles in place.

Sadly, there's no word whether the line will ever be available in grown-up sizes. Check out all the offerings in the Star Wars Burton gear line in the gallery.

Winter is synonymous with snow sports, so if you're already planning your Winter weekend getaways, take note of these awesome Burton Raptor Boots ($229) that come in a special Tron hue.

I don't claim to be an expert on the slopes, but what I can tell you is that these snowboarding boots are said to come with some amazing heel holds, power straps, and something called an "Articulating Cuff" so you can easily wind your way down the course. Women shoppers beware: these are men's boots but just size them down for your smaller-sized peds.

So if I'm not a boarder, why am I interested? It's The Grid, man. The Grid.

Customize Your Burton Board For a Pretty Penny

Whether you're new to snowboarding or have been riding for years, wouldn't you be psyched if you could design your own board?

Whether you're new to snowboarding or have been riding for years, wouldn't you be psyched if you could design your own board? The Series 13 website from Burton allows you to do just that.

First you choose the style and size board you want from 15 of Burton's high-end boards costing between $800 to $1200. Next you select a theme for your board from Burton's themes, such as argyle, flames, safari or camo, or you can design your own theme using your own original artwork or photos. Next you pick your colors for the design for the top of the board, as well as the base (bottom). You can also personalize your board with your name (so no one can walk away with it) or a message.

My design (pictured above) would only set me back about $850. Hey, I guess being in control of design doesn't come cheap. But the concept sure is cool.

Design Your Own Board

How cool would it be to design your own snowboard?

How cool would it be to design your own snowboard? Burton can make it happen.

You can design a snowboard using your own art or photos. You upload the image, customize your board design and they'll make it at BMC, the finest snowboarding manufacturer in the world.

Here's how it works:

You choose the type of board you want, the size and the shape of the base. You can choose a theme or pattern they have or use your own art design or photos. Then you pick out the colors, and any text you want on it. That's it. Then you're good to go.

So I did a mock design and if I ordered it, it'd run me $849.95. Not cheap, but very cool.
