Deviation

Specialties

Deviation strives to deliver an unparalleled riding experience whether you’re floating through deep days in Utah or carving corduroy in Vermont. We do this the only way possible, by building high quality, hand crafted skis and snowboards that are personalized to reflect your individual style. Choose your look from our artist gallery or create a look to make it your own. We strive to build an ongoing relationship with those riding on our skis and boards by creating it just for you.

History

Established in 2012.

The Deviation team was formed by a diverse group of friends from East to West coast with resumes in engineering, mountaineering, marketing, graphic arts, outdoor education, web development, and finance. Their shared love for riding brought them together and allowed Deviation to take shape. Deviation is founded in Oregon where on-​snow testing is always available and consumers value local, handmade products.

Deviation was founded with a common passion for two fundamental elements: First, to create a product that gives confidence to anyone on the mountain, whether you are male or female, skiing or snowboarding, floating through Utah powder or cutting through Vermont ice. Second, the team wanted to manufacture that product in-​house in Oregon.

This foundation is our inspiration. From this foundation, we have since developed unique wood core technologies, women’s products that are designed by women, and unrivaled personalization options.
