This is what you're looking for The Angry Snowboarder Blog Archive U.S.A Made It Still Exists

There's 2 companies not on there Compatriot is made in the U.S.A. as is Status Snowboards who are just an OEM for Never Summer.

I'm amazed that so many people don't realize Burton, Ride, K2, etc... boards are made in China. BA's list is pretty damn good. Includes all the ones I knew about, and plenty that I didn't.

Really? Fuck them. When I lived there they had a plant in Preston. I guess shit changes in 10 years.

Yeah my slackcountry is made in china, but it seems like pretty good build quality. I would never pay full price for one of their boards though. If something is made in china, I expect to pay less than something that was handmade here in the US. K2 has also moved most, if not all of their production to china.

I'm pretty certain that Capita builds all their boards in Seattle Washington.
