i seriuosly doubt burton will be getting into alpine again anytime soon. they couldn't have made any money the first time. hell, i got my ice boos for like 80% off at wave rave. the guy didn't know what he had!! he was like, "well i dont know why we have ski boots. and why burton makes them." with out skipping a beat i said, " ok, well i'll give you 60 bucks for em." "ok" he said, "i don't know what im gonna do with them." haha idiot.
