Welcome to Waist Deep Ski Company

Handcrafting eco-friendlier skis and poles from Bamboo

Bamboo Ski Poles

Bamboo is an outstanding material to work with due to its longitudinal and torsional strength; light weight; and subtle flexibilities. It doesn't dent like steel nor snap like carbon and is a 100% eco-friendly.
 

Waist Deep bamboo poles are very well balanced, have excellent swing, are as light as carbon, and are 'exceptional conversation starters'. They are available in seven colours and any length; on-line and from select Canadian retail ski shops.

Purchase early and save 20% on your ski poles when you pay now. The discount will be applied automatically at checkout. Orders will ship between December 1 and December 15.

Handcrafted Bamboo Skis

Waist Deep's Skis are handcrafted exclusively on a bamboo platform, providing amazing longitudinal and lateral strength; which translates into 'light and responsive' skis.
 

Skis are custom-made during the off-season and we use the word 'SnowPrint' (winter carbon footprint), with the goal of trying to reduce mine as best we can.
 

Please take a look around and start lowering your 'SnowPrint' by skiing bamboo.

What Customers are Saying

The most incredible ski poles I’ve ever had. Light strong flexible and cool as custard!!! Different colours available to suit your personality & style. Highly recommend.

- Allison Ferns

I've had Waist Deep bamboo poles for 5 years and I love'em. They're light weight... and fun to have in lift lines. I even got the grips and baskets in the colors of my favourite sports team. And then I go skiing. How good is that!

- Thomas Parker

2 plus full seasons with these poles. Durable, balanced and makes me look even cooler! 5 star.

- Daniel McSkimming

The coolest poles I’ve ever used!!! Consistently receiving comments on the hill about how cool, where to buy. On a performance level… outstanding! My poles should have bent in a crash but came away unscathed. Lightweight and fun… My highest recommendation.

- David Barnett

The poles are holding up great, super durable! I’ve been ripping them the past few days in preparation for our home mountains freeride competition, and they held up to the test. Stoked to get third with your poles! The purple also looks pretty good on the bamboo. I’m excited to continue using them for as long as they will last!

- Ian Taylor

These bamboo pools are surprisingly light, and we just love the look. It’s inevitable that someone in the lift line will comment on our neon colors and ask where we got them.

- Alan Darwish

Amazing Bamboo ski poles, have had mine for 4 years; they are great to use and a wonderful conversation starter.
