A little hill goes a long way.

SlopeDeck was built to capture the flow of surfing and the familiar stance of a skateboard across a much broader range of snow. The result is nimble, intuitive and dangerously good at turning ordinary winter terrain into a session.

How it rides

The carve is in the curves.

An offset running surface sits below the deck. As you lean, CNC-machined arced grooves bite into the snow and define the turn.

  1. 01

    Turns when you lean

    The offset Morphteck base engages as your weight moves across the deck.

  2. 02

    Calmer through rough snow

    The closed-cell spacer softens chatter and keeps the ride low to the ground.

  3. 03

    Tracks through the turn

    Arced grooves define the line rather than letting the board wash sideways.

How it’s built

Four parts. Built one at a time.

Canadian maple, closed-cell polyethylene and CNC-cut HDPE come together in the Nelson-area workshop.

01

Canadian maple

A custom oversized, cambered skateboard deck gives winter boots room and stability.

02

Closed-cell spacer

Dual-density polyethylene sheds snow, damps chatter and keeps the ride close to the ground.

03

CNC-cut HDPE

A thick, durable running surface carries the arced grooves that define each turn.

04

Hand-sealed finish

Two coats of urethane help protect the maple from seasons of snow and repeat laps.

04 / Our story

Born from a simple question

Why should surfing snow need perfect powder?

Powder surfing feels magic, but powder is scarce. Inventor Kaj Gyr chased that same flow in everyday conditions—testing shapes, bases and grooves until a thirty-foot hill could feel like a real playground.

SlopeDecks are still made one at a time by hand near Nelson, British Columbia. Small variations are part of the process; the ride is the part we refuse to compromise.

05 / Before you ride

Good questions

Email SlopeDeck
01What makes a SlopeDeck carve?

The narrow offset Morphteck base and its arced grooves engage as you lean, defining the turn instead of letting the board wash sideways.

02Do I need snowboard boots?

No bindings and no special boots. Warm winter boots with a grippy sole are all you need to get started.

03What snow conditions work best?

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.

04Can I do skate-style tricks?

Yes. Riders report shove-its, ollies and rails, and the resilient spacer adds useful pop. As with any snowskate, the trick and the snow conditions make a difference.

05Where can I ride it?

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.

06Should I use a leash?

Use a leash anywhere a loose board could reach people, roads or obstacles. Every SlopeDeck has a tail hole for attaching one.

07How is it different from a bi-deck snowskate?

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.

08Are factory seconds different to ride?

No. Factory seconds have small cosmetic variations from the handmade process, but use the same construction and ride the same.

09Where do you ship?

Boards ship from British Columbia. Canadian prices do not include tax or shipping. For international destinations or multi-board orders, email sales@slopedeck.ca and we’ll confirm the best available option.
