Grassroots Powdersurfing Drift Boards

Drift Boards are approach tools designed specifically for the ascent, not the descent. Unlike touring skis, they are shorter and wider to provide the float of a snowshoe while allowing for a natural gliding stride, and they are meant to be packed away once you reach your destination.

Yes. Drift Boards are designed to be compatible with any standard soft boot, meaning you do not need to invest in specialized alpine touring boots or bindings to use them.

While they excel in deep, soft snow, they are less effective on hard ice. The permanent climbing skins provide excellent traction on moderate slopes, but they are optimized for backcountry powder conditions rather than icy resort runs.

At 89 cm long, Drift Boards are compact enough to strap securely to the outside of most standard backcountry backpacks. Their lightweight construction ensures they won't weigh you down while you ride your primary board.

The heel risers help reduce calf fatigue when you are climbing steeper terrain. By engaging the bars, you create a flatter foot position relative to the slope, which makes long ascents significantly more comfortable.

The climbing skins are permanent, so you don't need to worry about replacing them. However, applying a skin wax or treatment periodically can help prevent snow buildup and maintain optimal glide performance in varying temperatures.
