Company Profile
Snow Peak USA
Company Overview
Snow Peak believes that time outdoors with others restores the human spirit. For more than 60 years, we have cultivated restorative experiences in nature. Our products are minimalist, functional, and built to last.
Company History
Snow Peak was founded by my father, Yukio Yamai and I’ve had the immense privilege of leading the company since 1980 and bringing the company to the USA in 1999. Through its more than 60 year history, the core values and mission of Snow Peak have been unwavered.
We embrace our customers’ perspective as our own and prioritize rigorous internal testing to create truly innovative equipment. Our relationship with our customers is our highest priority, so each year Snow Peak hosts the annual Snow Peak Way campout at headquarters around the globe. Snow Peak Way provides the unique opportunity for customers to meet and talk with each other, fostering a close-knit community of like-minded outdoor enthusiasts and fans all over the world.
Today, the rapid evolution of technology has accelerated the convenience of our daily lives but has led us to sacrifice precious human-to-human interactions. Snow Peak products and experiences create opportunities to reconnect with each other and the natural world, ultimately restoring part of our human spirit.
