Jake Burton Carpenter
Birth: unknown
Death: 20 Nov 2019 Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont, USA
Burial: Burial Details UnknownMemorial #: 205199974
Bio:
(AP) — Whether you had a gold medal around your neck, were just learning how to stand on a snowboard, or were one of those flustered skiers wondering where all the kids in baggy pants were coming from, you knew the name “Burton.”Jake Burton Carpenter, the man who changed the game on the mountain by fulfilling a grand vision of what a snowboard could be, died Wednesday night of complications stemming from a relapse of testicular cancer. He was 65.
In an email sent to the staff at Burton, CEO John Lacy called the company’s namesake “our founder, the soul of snowboarding, the one who gave us the sport we love so much.”
Carpenter did not invent the snowboard, but 12 years after Sherman Poppen tied together a pair of skis with a rope to create what he called a “Snurfer,” the 23-year-old entrepreneur, then known as Jake Burton, quit his job in Manhattan, moved home to Vermont and went about dreaming of how far a snowboard might take him.
“I had a vision there was a sport there, that it was more than just a sledding thing, which is all it was then,” he told the The Associated Press in 2010.
For years, Burton’s snowboards were largely snubbed at resorts — its dimensions too untested, its riders too unrefined, its danger all too real. Many wouldn’t allow them on the slopes in Colorado or California or, heaven forbid, the Swiss Alps.
But those riders were a force of nature. And for all their risk-taking and rule-breaking, they spent money, too. Over the past decade, snowboarders have accounted for more than 25% of visitors to U.S. mountain resorts and have powered more than $1 billion in sales annually.
In 1998, the Olympics got in on the act in hopes of injecting some youthfulness into an older-skewing program filled with ski jumpers, bobsledders, figure skaters and hockey players. Burton has sponsored pretty much every big name in the sport, including Seth Wescott, Shaun White, Kelly Clark and Chloe Kim.
Though Burton is a private company that does not release financials, its annual sales were north of $500 million in 2015. In addition to hundreds of retail stores that sell its merchandise, it has 30 flagship shops in America and 11 spread across Europe and Asia — a burgeoning market Carpenter started developing a decade ago.
For all of Carpenter’s success, folks were always more likely to run into him wearing a snowsuit than a sportscoat. He was a fan of early morning backcountry rides, and he stayed in shape to keep up with some of the company he rode with.
His final years, however, were not the easiest. Not long after being given a clean bill of health following a 2011 cancer diagnosis, Carpenter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Miller Fisher Syndrome, that left him completely paralyzed for a short time. After a long rehab, he was back on the mountain, in 2018 standing near the finish line to watch White win his third Olympic gold medal.
This month, Carpenter sent an email to his staff: “You will not believe this, but my cancer has come back,” he said, outlining his intention to fight the good fight.
Two weeks later, Lacy sent another email notifying employees that he had died. The email included a directive:
“I’d encourage everyone to do what Jake would be doing tomorrow, and that’s riding. It’s opening day at Stowe [Vermont], so consider taking some turns together, in celebration of Jake.”

REMEMBERING JAKE BURTON CARPENTERNovember 21, 2019
Jake Burton Carpenter, 1954 - 2019
Burton founder Jake Burton Carpenter passed away peacefully on November 20, 2019 as a result of complications from recurring cancer. He was our founder, the soul of snowboarding, the one who gave us the sport we all love so much.A few months prior, Jake started to compile a timeline of the most important events of his life in his own words. We've shared it here.
JAKE BURTON: PERSONAL TIMELINE
APRIL 29, 1954Born in New York, New York, the youngest of four siblings.
1960s
WINTER 1961Went skiing for the first time with my family at Bromley Mountain in Vermont and was hooked on snow and the mountains.
FEBRUARY 17, 1967
My older brother Corporal George Whitney Carpenter died while serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. He received the Silver Star Medal and the Purple Heart Medal.
FALL 1968
Attended Brooks School in North Andover, Mass. This is the same school as my brother (school president/captain of the crew team/superstar) and father attended. Got expelled by the ‘Prune’ (same headmaster as my father and brother) after two years. I was the proverbial ‘underachiever’ and wise ass. I did LSD with my friends and stayed up all night roughly twice a week.
DECEMBER 1968
Begged for a surfboard, but I received a desk instead for Christmas. I bought a Snurfer for $10 and spent a lot of time at the local sledding hill on Long Island with friends.
1970s
Jake_Late70s.jpg
Jake Burton in the late 1970s.
FALL 1970Started attending the Marvelwood School (known as a ‘second chance’ boarding school) which was in Cornwall, CT at the time. At this point in my life, I flipped a switch and became the consummate overachiever. I worked my ass off. I was on the ski team. My memories revolve around physical activities such as going up to Mohawk Mountain, Snurfing around campus or simply playing pick-up touch football or basketball.
SEPTEMBER 21, 1971
My mother, Katherine ‘Kitty’ Carpenter died (leukemia) of a broken heart from losing her son. I was 17 and devastated. She was my last line of defense between me and my dad (who never hit me, but I never lived up to his expectations). My dad turned out to be the best single dad ever after my mom passed.
JUNE 1972
Graduated from Marvelwood as the valedictorian of my class. During my last semester of high school, I moved back to New York for an independent study program (at project Head Start) and started a landscaping business on the side. The total investments of my landscaping business were an old family station wagon, two rakes and some garbage/leaf bags.
FALL 1972
I started college at the University of Colorado Boulder. There were 30,000 students and I did not know one. I tried out for the CU ski team (reigning NCAA skiing champs), but I didn’t make the team, which was mostly very good Europeans. I was cut by Bill Marolt who went on to become my nemesis at the FIS. I sued him (one of two people I have sued in my life) on behalf of snowboarders pursuing a fair Olympic qualification system (without skier input) and won (deservedly so). This was the beginning of the end of my life as a skier.
SPRING 1973
Left CU because I was lonely and sad, so I headed back east. I tried to pursue a career working with NY thoroughbred racehorses as a trainer but I quit the very day I saw a horse shocked in the nuts prior to a race. I was in it because I love animals.
FALL 1973
Enrolled in night classes at NYU. I attended NYU for the next four years and went on to become captain of the NYU varsity swim team.
JUNE 1977
I graduated from New York University and worked for a small investment banking firm in Manhattan owned by a friend of my sister, Victor Niederhoffer.
DECEMBER 1977
I was working 12-14 hours a day and not loving it. I also (in the back of my mind) knew that surfing on snow could become a sport. So I bailed on my New York job, moved to Londonderry, Vermont and started ‘Burton Boards’ out of a barn in a house where I was the live-in caretaker and tending the two horses. By night, I bartended at the Birkenhaus Inn. By day, I built makeshift snowboard prototypes and tested them in the back hills of southern Vermont.
1978
I made prototypes from a furniture making angle (steam bent solid ash) to boat construction (fiberglass chop) to surfboard construction in Peter Mel’s dad’s (John Mel) factory, Freeline Design. They made surfboards during the day, and I moved in and made snowboards all night. John Mel became a good friend who let me use his factory every night and encouraged me.
JANUARY 1979
I won the ‘Open’ Division at the National Snurfing Contest in Muskegon, Michigan. The prize money was $300.
1980s
Jake-Donna-1989.jpg
Jake and Donna in 1989.
1981I moved the factory from Londonderry, Vermont to Manchester, Vermont where I bought my first house with a barn. The barn was the factory, the living room was the store, the basement was the warehouse and the bedroom was the office. The phone rang around the clock with toll-free catalog inquiries.
January 1, 1982
I met my future wife Donna at The Mill Tavern in Londonderry, Vermont just after midnight on New Year’s Eve (1981/1982). Donna attended Columbia University in NYC but she came to Vermont on weekends. We would hang out and she would help in the factory.
MAY 21, 1983
During a torrential downpour, at the age of 29, I married 19-year-old Donna Gaston. The wedding ceremony was at Donna’s parents’ home in Greenwich, Conn with only 12 people present, but the reception had 400 guests. The weather was rain, thunder and lightning. And I was an emotional mess. The process brought up a lot of stuff from my past. We thought perhaps it was a mistake and we should return the wedding gifts. Obviously, it wasn’t a mistake.
WINTER 1983
I took a run with Stratton’s ski patrol to see if I could talk them into allowing snowboarders on the chairlifts. Luckily, it was a nice soft day, and my crew and I looked like we could handle the boards. After that, Stratton Mountain became the first major resort to allow snowboarders on lifts.
WINTER 1984
I accompanied my wife’s family on a ‘ski’ trip to Austria. When they skied, I snowboarded with them. I spent most of my evenings visiting ski factories, trying to find someone who would agree to produce snowboards with steel edges. Factories turned me down until I visited Keil Ski. Herr Keil and I connected immediately and went on to manufacture the first snowboards with ski construction, steel edges, a P-Tex base etc.
1985
Donna and I moved to Europe and created Burton’s European base in Innsbruck, Austria. Before we moved, I attended the intensive language program at Middlebury College in Vermont for six weeks so I could start learning German. We lived in a house in Igls (near Innsbruck). The house was the office. The garage was where I assembled the ski construction boards molded by Keil for the European market. I focused on product and manufacturing (in German with Herr Keil). Donna focused on building a European distribution network.
MARCH 1985
We asked Hermann Kapferer in Innsbruck, Austria if he can help us find an office and assembly space with room for a store for Burton’s European operations. This was the beginning of Burton Europe.
NOVEMBER 12, 1989
Our first child, George Burton Carpenter was born in Rutland, Vermont. (Good luck finding an anesthesiologist on the first day of hunting season in Vermont).
1990s
1992-Ride-Day029.jpg
Burton Ride Day in 1992.
1992I moved the Burton factory and head office from Southern Vermont to Northern Vermont (Burlington). We had just over 100 employees at the time.
AUGUST 18, 1993
Our second son, Taylor Gaston Burton Carpenter was born in Burlington, Vermont.
WINTER 1993
I helped teach George how to ski when he was 3. In the process, I almost killed both of us. It was the last time I skied.
JANUARY 24, 1994
My leg was broken when a skier ran into me while I was night riding at Stowe, Vermont. The doctor said my leg looked like Reggie Jackson hit it with a baseball bat.
JULY 24, 1996
Our third son, Timi Eaton Burton Carpenter was born.
JANUARY 13, 1997
Sports Illustrated interviewed me for an article called ‘Chairman of the Board Jake Burton Took a Childhood Toy & Launched an International Craze’.
1998
I was in a commercial for American Express.
1999
Started riding 100 days a year.
2000-2009
2003_JBC_Squamish_BC-(1).jpg
Jake in Squamish, B.C., in 2003.
FEBRUARY 2002I taught Katie Couric (the Today Show host) how to snowboard on national TV during the Olympics in Salt Lake City. And I was there to watch Burton riders Ross Powers & Kelly Clark win gold in the halfpipe events at the Olympics.
JANUARY 20, 2003
Craig Kelly died near Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada in an avalanche which trapped 8 people and killed 6 others. The entire sport and industry mourned him.
FEBURARY 23, 2003
Burton team rider Jeffrey Anderson died accidently when jokingly sliding down the rail of a staircase in Nagano, Japan.
JULY 2003
Left the U.S. for a 10-month trip with my family to follow winter around the world and really dive into our business in the Southern Hemi, Asia and all over Europe. First stop was Quito, Ecuador. We snowboarded and surfed on six continents and had one of the best years of our lives.
APRIL 2004
During the last leg of my 10-month trip, I attended the Arctic Challenge snowboard event in Tromso Norway. We all then took a 6 hour ferry ride to the Lofoten islands. There, I surfed with Terje in the morning, then hiked up a mountain and snowboarded down that same afternoon in Stamsund, Norway. It was the first time I surfed and snowboarded on the same day.
FEBRUARY 2006
Headed to the Torino Olympics in Italy to watch Burton riders Shaun White and Hannah Teter win halfpipe gold in outerwear that Burton designed exclusively for the US Olympic Snowboard Team.
MARCH 2006
Traveled with George, Terje, Dave Downing & DCP to the Caucausus mountains in Russia for a shoot. We were always protected by armed bodyguards and got dropped off by a huge military helicopter on sketchy snowpack at the top of a mountain. Terje pointed out a perfect line for George and me to take, and it was all good from there.
FEBRUARY 14, 2007
Stayed at the Stone Hut in Stowe for the massive Valentine’s Day storm that dumped four feet of snow at Stowe in Vermont.
MARCH 26, 2009
I told the company that due to the challenging global economic situation, we needed to reduce salaries from the top down and cut a percentage of North American staff.
DECEMBER 31, 2009
Burton snowboarder and Olympic hopeful Kevin Pearce suffered a life threatening traumatic brain injury while training for the Vancouver Olympics.

JAN 19, 2010Danny Davis injured himself in an accident and missed the Olympic Games.
FEBRUARY 2010
Went to the Vancouver Olympics where Burton rider Shaun White won his second Olympic gold medal in halfpipe.
MARCH 16, 2010
I sent this email to the company: “It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the transition of our production facility (BMC/Burton Manufacturing Center) in South Burlington, Vermont into a new purely R&D driven prototype facility in our building next door to headquarters. Consequently, we will cease to manufacture production boards in Vermont. Along with this production operation we will lose 43 of the most loyal, productive people in the organization.” AP coverage here.
MAY 3, 2010
Informed the company that the current CEO Laurent Potdevin was leaving and I was taking back the CEO role.
JANUARY 12, 2011
My father, Edward ‘Tim’ Carpenter died at 91.
JANUARY 13, 2011
I dedicated Craig’s, a new state of the art prototype facility next door to Burton HQ named in honor of Craig Kelly. It’s still there.
APRIL 29, 2011
I told the company that I was getting my heart valve repaired at Mayo Clinic. It was a condition I had since birth called mitral valve prolapse.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2011
I sent an email to the company that I had good news and bad news. “The bad news is that I have cancer. The good news is that it is as curable as it gets. What I have is called Seminoma, also known as Testicular Cancer (think Lance Armstrong).”
DECEMBER 14, 2011

DECEMBER 11, 2014
I let the company know about a health issue with my knee. The email said: “Because I've been transparent about personal health issues, and I am not wild about answering the same question repeatedly, I wanted to let you guys know that the lateral compartment of my knee is toast. I tried an arthroscopic procedure to fix it, but to no avail. Consequently, I have to get a partial knee replacement (lateral compartment). Fortunately, I get to keep all of my ligaments as well as the middle and medial compartments of my knee. Unfortunately this is the end of my northern-hemi snowboarding season.”
JANUARY 2015
I visited Burton offices in Beijing and Korea. Here’s an interview clip with Bloomberg.

MARCH 12, 2015
I was brought to Copley hospital in Vermont for the first signs of Miller Fisher syndrome, a very rare type of Guillain-Barre syndrome. They transferred me to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in NH. I was informed that in three days I would not be able to swallow, breathe or open my eyes. According to Donna, I was intubated (breathing and swallowing tubes) on Sunday, March 15th. The paralysis spread for the first 2 1/2 weeks, then was stable (almost fully paralyzed) for another 2 1/2 weeks and then very slowly I got my muscles back. In total, approx. 8 weeks of paralysis and full-time on breathing machine. It was a total of 10-11 weeks before I was fully off the breathing machine. I was in the ICU my entire stay at Dartmouth Hitchcock.
MARCH 27, 2015

I was moved to Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Boston to continue recovering from Miller Fisher Syndrome, starting with learning basic functions like how to eat with silverware.
APRIL 2015
One of Burton’s in-house photographers decided to spontaneously gather the entire company outside of Craig’s and take a group shot as a ‘get well’ wish to me. Everyone put up their middle fingers, which has become a symbol of love in our family and at the company. They blew up the photo to a giant poster size, and we hung it above my hospital bed where I could see it. The caption said, ‘We Fucking Love You Jake’. All the other offices around the world ended up doing a similar group photo.
JUNE 6, 2015
I begged and was permitted to leave Spaulding with my three kids, friends, a head nurse and a respiratory therapist to see the Belmont Stakes where American Pharoah won the first Triple Crown since 1978.

NOVEMBER 10, 2019*
Jake sent this email to Burton employees: "You will not believe this, but my cancer has come back. It’s the same tumor as the first time around. We just never got rid of it all. A bit of it hung out in my lymph nodes and got back into business.
The odds are in my favor, but it is going to be a struggle for sure.
As much as I dread what is facing me, it’s easier to deal with when you know that you have a family that will carry on.
I feel the same way about my company, my friends and our sport. I will be back, but regardless, everything is in good hands which is an amazing feeling when entering this zone of uncertainty."
NOVEMBER 21, 2019*
John Lacy, Burton Co-CEO, sent this email to Burton employees: "It is with a very heavy heart that I share the news that Jake passed away peacefully last night surrounded by his family and loved ones as a result of complications from recurring cancer. He was our founder, the soul of snowboarding, the one who gave us the sport we all love so much.
This all happened very suddenly, and it’s a tremendous loss for his family, his friends and all of you. Let’s send all of our love and positive energy to Donna, George, Taylor, Timi and the extended family."
*These additional updates were contributed by the Burton team.
In lieu of flowers or other forms of support, contributions can be made to the Chill Foundation.
