Jake Burton Carpenter is undeniably the most influential person in snowboarding. As the founder of Burton Snowboards, he pioneered the sport and its larger lifestyle over a lifetime spent pushing snowboarding to new levels. After passing late last year due to complications from recurring cancer, Carpenter left a legacy that will live in perpetuity. Snowboarders around the world gathered at Vermont’s Stowe Mountain November 25 to pay tribute to the man who forged the way for every single snowboarder to ever strap into a board. The Burton U.S. Open concludes this weekend.
