The Birthplace of Burton Snowboards
In 1977, Jake Burton Carpenter and a small team of Londonderry residents created the first Burton Snowboards in a small shop just down the road on Main Street.
From its humble beginnings in Londonderry, snowboarding grew from a backyard hobby to one of the world’s most popular winter sports. Today, Vermont remains the home of Burton Snowboards and many of snowboarding’s historical milestones, such as acceptance at ski areas and becoming a Winter Olympic sport.
