Perry Klebahn revolutionized the sport of snowshoeing
The Atlas story began in 1990 when founder Perry Klebahn, who was looking to snowshoeing to help recover from a motorcycle injury, became frustrated with the designs of the time. Klebahn soon developed his own ideas, and created a revolutionary new snowshoe as the thesis project for his graduate engineering degree from Stanford University's product design program. With these efficient, lighter, compact snowshoes, snowshoeing has become increasingly popular throughout the world.
