Never Summer snowboards is a Colorado-based snowboard company. Founded in 1991, the company is owned and operated by brothers Tracey and Tim Canaday, and builds its boards in Denver, Colorado.
Never Summer is well known for making their boards in the U.S. by hand, not having pro-model boards and avoiding the use of costly marketing campaigns. Never Summer claims to be the inventor of P-tex sidewalls, now a common feature on the product lines of many manufacturers. Never Summer offers a wide variety of snowboards specific to rider style and preference, all featuring a three year warranty.
On September 21, 2010 Never Summer was awarded US Patent No. 7798514 for its revolutionary Rocker & Camber design (marketed by the company as R.C. Technology). R.C. Technology is a unique snowboard geometry which incorporates elements of both traditional cambered design and reversed camber, "rocker", design.
Never Summer supplies their snowboards to retailers under private contracts. Therefore, their products are only available through outside retailers and not direct from the factory.
The NS snow team consists exclusively of local Colorado-area riders , as does the small but growing NS skateboard team. Many of Never Summers' riders also ride, or have ridden, for Colorado Board Room Inc.
Never Summer also has a clothing line.
The company is named after the Never Summer Mountains, western edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado and extending into Routt and Arapaho National Forests where there are pockets of snow all year.
