Careers at Snow Peak

In 1958, Yukio Yamai founded Snow Peak in the Niigata Prefecture of Japan. Yukio was an accomplished mountaineer and was dissatisfied with the products available, so he designed his own line of high-quality gear. His innovative and pioneering spirit continues to guide our vision.

Today, Snow Peak is still led by the Yamai family – Yukio's son Tohru is the CEO of Snow Peak USA and Chairman of the Board and his granddaughter Lisa serves as president. Snow Peak provides a wide range of high-quality outdoor gear and apparel to discerning consumers worldwide. Each product we produce is thoughtfully designed and rigorously tested to ensure beauty, function and durability. Each item is investment-grade equipment that powers restorative experiences in nature.

Snow Peak USA is at an exciting stage in company history, coupling significant investment with an ambitious growth strategy for the North American market. In 2020, we opened our new USA headquarters in Portland, Oregon – encompassing a flagship retail store, event space, restaurant and corporate headquarters. We also operate a retail store in the vibrant Soho neighborhood of New York City. Snow Peak’s future is bright with bold and cutting-edge plans for years ahead.
