A binding-free snowskate
Ride in regular winter boots. The narrow, grooved base turns when you lean, on packed snow and a few inches of fresh.
Handmade one at a time in Ymir, BC.
SlopeDeck combines a skateboard stance with a narrow, grooved running surface. Lean into a turn and the arced grooves engage the snow instead of washing sideways.

How it rides
An offset running surface sits below the deck. As you lean, CNC-machined arced grooves bite into the snow and define the turn.
The offset Morphteck base engages as your weight moves across the deck.
The closed-cell spacer softens chatter and keeps the ride low to the ground.
Arced grooves define the line rather than letting the board wash sideways.
How it’s built
Each SlopeDeck is assembled in Ymir, BC, from Canadian maple, closed-cell polyethylene and CNC-cut HDPE.
An oversized, cambered skateboard deck gives winter boots room and stability.
Dual-density polyethylene sheds snow, damps chatter and keeps the ride close to the ground.
A thick, durable running surface carries the arced grooves that define each turn.
Two coats of urethane help protect the maple from seasons of snow and repeat laps.

05 / Our story
How SlopeDeck started
Kaj Gyr developed SlopeDeck by testing different deck shapes, bases and groove patterns in everyday snow. He wanted a board that could carve without needing deep powder.
I’m J Leus. I build every SlopeDeck by hand in Ymir, British Columbia, and I also handle sales and support. Small cosmetic variations are a normal part of the process.
Ask me about SlopeDeckField notes
It’s light. Easy to carry up a hill. Really great in marginal conditions.
It handles multiple types of snow well and carves really well for a snowskate.
The speed and distance this thing gets on even the smallest of hills has been a big hit among the group.
They ride like a skateboard and are tricky to learn, but they are fun for the whole family.
Se contrôle mieux que je pensais. Très l’fun.
Very well built, and I love the fact that it’s made in Canada.

No bindings or special boots are required. Wear warm winter boots with grippy soles, plus a helmet. Use a leash anywhere a loose board could become a hazard.
There is a learning curve. Start slowly on a gentle, obstacle-free hill while you find your balance and learn how the grooves engage. Riders with board-sport experience may find the stance familiar, but it is not required.
Packed snow, a few inches of fresh snow and ordinary backyard winter conditions all work. Start on a gentle, obstacle-free hill while you learn how the grooves engage.
Yes. You can do shove-its and ollies, and ride rails. The resilient spacer adds pop, while snow conditions affect how the board responds.
Backyards, sledding hills and mellow snow-covered terrain are ideal. Most ski areas require metal edges, so check local rules before bringing one to a resort.
Use a leash anywhere a loose board could reach people, roads or obstacles. Every SlopeDeck has a tail hole for attaching one.
SlopeDeck keeps the ride low and light by integrating its narrow running surface without a separate ski and mounting hardware. Its grooved HDPE base is designed for backyard carving, not metal-edged resort riding.
No. Factory seconds have small cosmetic variations from the handmade process, but use the same construction and ride the same.
SlopeDeck boards include a 1-year warranty against verified manufacturing defects. Normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, impact damage and improper storage are not covered.
