Burton Mission, Vision & Values

Burton Mission Statement

Everything we do at Burton started in the mountains. From getting the most out of every journey to chasing snow around the globe, we've charged ahead to innovate and change the way people enjoy the outdoors since day one. In 1977, Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton Snowboards out of his Vermont barn. Since then, Burton has fueled the growth of snowboarding worldwide through its groundbreaking product lines, its grassroots efforts to get the sport accepted at resorts and its team of top snowboarders. In 1996, Burton began growing its family of brands to include board sports equipment and apparel brands. Privately held and owned by Jake and his wife, Donna, Burton’s headquarters are in Burlington, Vermont with international offices in Austria, Canada, China and Japan.
