Welcome to Waist Deep Ski Company
Handcrafting eco-friendlier skis and poles from Bamboo.
In early 2018 I started to make eco-friendly bamboo skis and ski poles as a hobby. Now, after several years of testing and refining the poles and skis; I am happy to offer both 'custom-made ski poles' and 'custom-made skis' under the Waist Deep Ski Company brand.
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.
Our 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.
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
I use the word 'SnowPrint' (winter carbon footprint), with the goal of trying to reduce mine as best I can.
Please take a look around and start lowering your 'SnowPrint' by skiing bamboo.
