Winterstick is Moving Forward

Dear Winterstick Community,

 

Since we paused taking new orders in December, the outpouring of support from you all has been incredible. Your encouragement has given us the energy and determination to keep this little factory going. Thank you.

 

We are thrilled to announce that Winterstick is officially accepting orders for the 2025/26 season! Over the past few months, we’ve faced challenges that forced us to pause new orders while we fulfilled existing ones. But through it all, our commitment to craftsmanship and delivering high-quality, handmade boards has never wavered. We want to reassure you that we are still hard at work building every snowboard that has already been ordered and remain dedicated to getting them to our customers as soon as possible.

 

limited number of boards ordered now will be guaranteed for delivery before next season. Once that capacity is filled, new orders will still be accepted but will be added to our build queue and produced in the order they are received.

 

We’re also excited to introduce graphic plastic top sheets on all models. These will be available at our introductory price point, while our classic wood veneer top sheets will now be sold at a premium to reflect the extra craftsmanship and cost involved. Whether you prefer the bold customization of graphic tops or the timeless beauty of wood veneer, you now have more options than ever to create your perfect board. Keep an eye out for upcoming graphic top sheet drops - coming soon!

 

As part of this transition, we are adjusting our pricing to reflect the true cost of manufacturing. We have not raised our base prices in years, despite significant increases in material, labor, and shipping costs. In order to continue producing the highest-quality boards and ensure the sustainability of our small-batch manufacturing, these changes are necessary.

 

We appreciate this community more than words can express, it’s because of your support that Winterstick is still here, still building, and still pushing snowboard craftsmanship forward. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get a Winterstick, now is the time to lock in your order.

 

Thank you for believing in us. We couldn’t do this without you.

 

Sincerely,

Rob Lu 

President, Winterstick Snowboards
