umm i work on r&d for burton, I can tell you 100% that burton is making skis.
However, when i say burton, i mean that in all actuallity, line is making burtons skis, this is may sound wierd cause line is now owned by K2.
They decided they wanted to have tri axial braids like k2, but have somehting that line has patented, actuall exact twin tips. So what they did was buy K2 from thier parent company, and then were able to get rid of ride etc (who is owned by k2) so to sum up, make good skis from a proven factory, throw out some competition, and get into a market they've been dieing to get into since their ski bashing ads of a few years ago.
You should see some of the topsheets.
therell be a fat twin thats basically the lissie in a 176.5 (awesome size hey?) no name as of yet.
and a park all mountain twin for the first year in 4 different sizes called the juss moose. and be about 99 underfoot. Guess who helped design it.

fiddle faddle said it, it must be true.
