Queen SNOWWORKS

Who We Are

Queen SNOWWORKS began with one question:

Why should snowboarders settle for gear that limits what they can do in the mountains?

As lifelong snowboarders, engineers, and backcountry riders, we started QSW to build the kind of equipment we always wanted but couldn’t find: gear that is lighter, stronger, faster, more intuitive, and built with the level of care serious riders deserve.

What began as a mechanical engineering capstone project at the University of Utah has grown into a broader mission: to build the highest-quality, highest-performing snowboard hardgoods for riders pushing real objectives in the mountains.

Queen SNOWWORKS is not here to make generic gear for everyone. We build for the riders who care about every detail. The splitboarders, powsurfers, guides, athletes, builders, and mountain people who know that the right equipment can change the way a line feels, how far you can go, and how much confidence you have when conditions get serious.

Every product we design is guided by four core principles:

  • Performance: Gear should make you better in the mountains. Every shape, part, material, and feature must serve a real purpose.

  • Simplicity: The best gear disappears from your mind when you use it. It should be intuitive, efficient, and easy to trust.

  • Durability: Snowboard hardgoods should be built to take abuse. We design for freezing temperatures, repeated impact, ice buildup, and long days in treacherous terrain.

  • Forward Progression: Snowboarding still has room to evolve. QSW exists to push the sport forward through thoughtful design, more rigorous engineering, and products that unlock new ways to ride.

Meet the Team

  • I’m Logan, a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Utah and a lifelong snowboarder. Growing up in the Midwest, the pull of the western mountains brought me to Salt Lake City. On the skintrack, I kept running into the same problem—gear that slowed me down. So I started Queen SNOWWORKS to design backcountry snowboard gear without compromise.

Zack Lemieux

  • Hey I’m Zack! I grew up skiing in Vermont, where my home mountain was Burke. I spent 18 years in Vermont before moving to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah - where I found Queen SNOWWORKS and have been working to make the best backcountry snowboard gear ever since.

  • Hey I'm Luke! Born and raised in Salt Lake City, I've been going to Brighton all my life, snowboarding since 7th grade. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Utah, and I'm interning with Queen SNOWWORKS to help build backcountry gear for the sport I grew up doing.

Henry Baldiga

  • Hi, I’m Henry! I grew up in Boise, Idaho, where I spent my winters skiing at Bogus Basin and Brundage Mountain. I later moved to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah, where I’m studying Mechanical Engineering. My passion for engineering and snow sports led me to Queen SNOWWORKS, where I help design and build some of the cleanest, highest-performing snowboard gear on the market.
