Nitro snowboards was born in 1990 in Seattle, Washington when two snowboarders wanted to make quality gear because there weren’t a lot of good choices out there. Snowboarding was their passion and focus and it still is today. We remain true to snowboarding, and we thank you all for the support so we can continue to do so. Our goal has always been to progress the sport with products that are innovative in technology, design, and materials, always pushing the limits. We are super proud to be partner with Nitro on our award winning ski and snowboard tours of NZ. Here's what they are about - in their own words We started Nitro Snowboards in Seattle in 1989 We made the right decision We don't regret anything We are proud of our roots We look forward to the future while our roots keep us grounded We are founded and run by snowboarders We are a real international company with small satellite office around the world We rely on strengths from each region We listen to people regardless of origin, everyone is treated equally We operate with flat company structure without a complicated hierarchy We are a small group but together we accomplish so much
