Snow PeakFounded in 1958 by climber Yukio Yamai in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture, Snow Peak makes camping equipment and outdoor apparel designed around time spent in nature. The three-generation family company grew from mountaineering gear crafted with Tsubame-Sanjo metalworkers into a car-camping brand, with its Japanese-designed tents and titanium goods reflecting that origin. Snow Peak also builds community through customer camping events and outdoor hospitality, including Snow Peak Way and its U.S. Campfield.NEW YORK, NY
