Foon Ski 🇨🇦

Each board and ski is a complementary brew of art and craftsmanship. Kindred Custom Snowboards and Skis enhance everything that you already—or ever hope to—love about The Ride.

That search brought them to Entropy Resins and a proprietary Super Sap blend that powers their line of eco-friendly snowboards.


Skevik Ski 🇨🇦

Skevik Skis’ beginnings can be traced to a residential Vernon, British Columbia garage. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson’s garage, to be precise. The Anderson’s sons, Gregg and Glenn, are life-long skiers, growing up on the slopes of Silver Star Mountain Resort, just up the hillside from their northern Okanagan community. It was here where a love for skiing was fostered and nurtured. It was the garage where their curiosities, ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit and good old fashioned book smarts spawned the quickly maturing ski manufacturer that is Skevik Skis.
