Rossignol runs its North American business from Park City, and a plant in Artés, Spain, turns out 78 percent of its alpine skis. That gap between where a ski company sits and where its skis are pressed runs through most of the 22 brands in our ski and snow category. As of October 12, 2026, six of them make product in Utah, and two of those six make goggles or boots rather than skis or boards. The short answer is DPS skis in Salt Lake City and Voilé splitboards in West Valley City, plus some American Gear Company13,14 snowboards in Washington, Utah, and DaleBoot ski boots in Salt Lake. Nearly everything else is designed or run from here and pressed somewhere else.
Quick answers
Are DPS skis made in Utah?
Yes. DPS has pressed its skis in its own Salt Lake City factory since 2013. Before that, production was in China.
Where are Voilé splitboards made?
In West Valley City, Utah, on Constitution Boulevard, where Voilé builds its boards and hardware.
Are Atomic or Rossignol skis made in Utah?
No. Atomic presses its skis in Austria and Bulgaria and runs its US business from Ogden. Rossignol runs its North American business from Park City. A plant in Artés, Spain, makes 78 percent of its alpine skis.
Which snowboard companies are in Utah?
Chimera, Pallas, Cardiff and Niche are based in Salt Lake City. American Gear Company builds boards in Washington, Utah. Voilé makes splitboards in West Valley City. Armada, run from Park City, added snowboards in 2025.
Skis pressed in Utah
DPS Skis built its first skis in China, "the cheapest way to get going in a bootstrapped mode," as SLUG's interview with cofounder Stephan Drake put it. In 2013 the company opened its own factory in Salt Lake City, and design and pressing have shared a roof since. The Pure3 skis are sandwiches of prepreg carbon fiber laminates, pressed in pairs and split apart on industrial bandsaws. Every pair carries a lifetime warranty, and most models cost more than $1,200. DPS also developed Phantom, a base treatment now sold by its sister company PHANTOM Glide, which says one application bonds to the base for the life of the ski, so even the waxing bench is optional.
GOODE is the fine print in this section. The company, run from Ogden since 2004, brought its snow ski production there from China in 2011, and its shop says every GOODE7,8 ski is made by hand in Ogden. The skis it sells today are carbon slalom water skis, though, at prices like $1,790 for the Carbon Ventura. On snow, GOODE is known for the carbon pencil pole, a method its founder patented in 1989.
Splitboards and snowboards built in Utah
Voilé was founded in Salt Lake City in 1980 and builds its boards and hardware on Constitution Boulevard in West Valley City. In 1991 an avalanche forecaster brought the company a crude prototype of the first splitboard, a snowboard that comes apart for the climb, and Voilé started selling splitboards wholesale in 1994. The company says its clip and puck hardware is now the industry standard. SLUG reports that Burton's own system kept failing, so Burton came to Voilé too.
American Gear Company started as Monson Snowboards in southern California in 1997 and moved its manufacturing to Washington, Utah, in 2012. Its shop lists the Humanity C2 All Mountain, a $399 snowboard, as built in Washington, Utah, and tags some other boards as built by an overseas partner. The same factory hand-glasses wakesurf boards and builds arcade cabinets, which is a lot of range for one roof.
Chimera Snowboards is a partial case. The Salt Lake City company, formed in 2009 to make nothing but splitboards, hand-builds its specialty models in Salt Lake, while a factory it does not name makes its designs at scale.
Ski boots
DaleBoot has made custom ski boots in Salt Lake City since 1969. Every boot starts with a measurement of the customer's feet, and if one foot is longer or wider, its shell gets made longer or wider to match. Everything plastic is made in Utah, and the liners come from Intuition in Vancouver. In 2021 CompanyWeek counted 15 employees and a return rate of about 3 percent.
Designed or run from Utah, built elsewhere
Cardiff Snowcraft, run from Salt Lake City, prints "Designed in Utah" and "Made in Canada" on its product pages. Its boards use wood from sawmills within 60 miles of the Canadian factory, and its demo shop sits in Cottonwood Heights. Niche Snowboards, also based in Salt Lake City, says a small town on the Mediterranean builds its boards, and in 2017 it began using a resin that can be dissolved so the materials inside a finished board can be recovered. Pallas Snowboards, the women's splitboard brand that shares Chimera's workshop, has had its production boards made by an outside factory since 2018 and keeps a single press in a Salt Lake backyard garage for prototypes.
4FRNT Skis is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and its pages do not say where the skis are built. In an August 2025 email to customers it described itself as a team of five skiers building about 3,000 pairs a year, with no corporate parent and no overseas factories. Armada has been run from Park City since 2014 and owned by Amer Sports since 2017, and in November 2025 it added a snowboard line. Atomic runs its US business from Ogden and presses about 400,000 pairs a year in Austria and Bulgaria.
For why so many of these companies picked the Wasatch, see why Utah snow is different. The European ski brands with American offices here, Atomic and Rossignol among them, have their own page, and every brand that builds in the state is on the made in Utah list.
