Snow Peak was founded in 1958 when Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of gear out of dissatisfaction with available products. Inspired by the outdoor environments of the Chetsu region of Niigata Prefecture in Japan, Snow Peak creates natural lifestyle products with designs that focus on function and aesthetics. Snow Peak designs and manufactures outdoor shelters, furniture, kitchens, cookware and other outdoor products.

Julie Snow Architects, Inc. is an architectural studio practice focusing on projects that demand a creative, rigorous and thoughtful design process.
