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.

Handcrafted Bamboo Skis

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

Skis are currently 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.

You Dream About

We’re excited to share that our bamboo ski poles and bamboo skis are featured in the Ski Canada 2026 Buyer’s Guide. For us, it’s a proud moment to see our sustainable, bamboo-built gear showcased alongside some of the best in the industry. Every pole and ski we craft is designed with intention - lightweight, durable, and rooted in our love for deep days and wild terrain. Being included in the guide is a huge honour, and we’re stoked to keep pushing bamboo innovation further on and off the mountain.
