Sods Law dictates that whenever you plan a video review to coincide with good weather you get freezing and overcast weather instead. Last weekend I headed up to Obertauern one of Austrias higher less tree lined resorts to put a 166 Salomon Burner through its paces. With a thin blanket of snow in the backcountry I didn’t dare venture off the groomers so I found myself riding faster and faster to try and find the Burner’s limits. Having ridden every snow type under the sun (except for powder), at every possible gradient I can safely say that the Burner has no speed limit, but I do.
