Cardiff Snowcraft makes fine snowboards and splitboards to create balance through empowered human experience. It is our belief that a fulfilling life is one that finds joy in the harmony of our complex lives. We believe work should be indistinguishable from play. We believe that we all deserve to "Stand in High Places"."Cardiff Snowcraft started because an architect-snowboarder imagined better splitboard equipment for his home zone, the deep cirque of Cardiff Fork in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. His passion led to sketches, sketches grew into digital models, digital models became tangible prototypes, prototypes led to innovation. Innovation is what we now ride.Independent thinking, creative problem solving and unparalleled performance is found in each of our splitboards and snowboards. If you're wandering the mountains looking for deep snow, you're our people and we invite you to experience Cardiff."

“We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us” - Winston ChurchillWe believe architecture and design have a special physical, spiritual, and psychological relationship with our lives. Whether we recognize it or not, design and the buildings we live in, shape our experiences and impact each of us in every aspect of our lives. Design and the built environment effect how we live, work, worship and sleep.We believe design and architecture can embrace and provide a unique canvas for our lives, which happen in and around it. As the architect Peter Zumthor said, architecture is “a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the concentration of work, for the silence of sleep.” We believe excellent design and architecture can compliment, accentuate, and highlight the best in the world around us, lifting our environments, building our community and shaping us into something better. We believe buildings have the potential EDIFY us and we all deserve to be edified.We believe this is our role, as architects and designers, to EDIFY individuals by crafting environments that inspire, bring peace, and beauty."
