  I had to stop myself from picking EVERY good trait, because Nick Gilson of Gilson Snowboards & Skis is such a well-rounded, great person who is seeking to revolutionize equipment as we know it through innovative design and a comprehensive team who he gives all the credit to. Not only are his products and customer service top notch, including customization options, but Nick is a forward thinking entrepreneur. In today's corporate dominated world, Gilson is truly "shopping local" even when you're having boards shipped from Pennsylvania across the world to New Zealand. Walking around at the annual Summer Snow Day brings mountain town vibes to Amish country. On top of it all, Gilson skis and boards are fun as hell to ride!

  Personal service, locally sourced materials, new technology. By not following the pack, they are creating boards and skiis that work differently, and better.

  I had a wonderful experience with Gilson they were at montage 2 years ago and they were doing a demo i tested out aboard witch was awesome because when can you try a board before you buy one... anyway i was able to talk to the guys there after some time decided to get a board and the best part ws i was able to customize it. god bless my artist i would say i was difficult but he worked with me and we creating an amazing board that i love! it doesn't matter what you want they will do anything for you!! i got my board and got a personal letter from the guy who made it it was amazing!! i loved working with them!!

  This board (Gilson duel park board) is absolutely phenomenal! I refer to it as my cheat code. The flex is so perfect with the right amount of resistance so it doesn’t feel cheap but you know your flexing more than anyone on the mountain. Butters for days. Is amazing on rails and boxes, I relate it more to the feel of a skateboard when doing rails. Which if your a skater and know the feeling of how different it feels to be on a rail on a skateboard verses a typical snowboard you understand it’s a way different feeling. This board made it feel more like a skateboard for me and that’s what I always wanted in my snowboard and Gilson has finally produced the equal median! And their customer service is better then going into a store. Replies within the day and super appreciative to their customers. I won’t buy another kind of snowboard I will always ride Gilson from here on out! Thank you guys for doing what you’ve done for the sport keep it up!!

  I would like to start my review by thanking the entire Gilson team for their dedication and personal attentiveness to every detail that went into the construction of my board. I came across Gilson back and 2014 and being from Pennsylvania, I thought it was awesome that a small business was starting up in a niche sport with a groundbreaking idea. From there I reached out the Nick Gilson who was such a friendly knowledgeable person when it came to the entire company and what they were trying to do. From visiting the snowboard farm where I received a tour around the shop, and lands that lead back to the creek, to even grabbing a beer in their house and just chatting about boarding. Amazing technology being crafted in such a small unknown town in Pennsylvania. I can't wait to see the progression of not only the company but the boards and skis. In an over saturated board market their concentrated specific line of 4 core profiles centers around he idea that you don't need hundreds of boards to reach a vast audience. All you need is the craftsmanship and dedication to push the limits of what is possible for snowboarding and skiing, and then following through with it. They do this to a T while at the same time allowing you to customize your top sheet and base without losing the quality that you deserve. They are some of the most humble and professional group of people I have met in a long time. Looking forward to future dealings with the team and would recommend this snowboard brand to everyone I meet. I would like to personally thank Nick and Danny for there help on everything and looking forward to shredding this year. Keep the Stoke!

  What is there to say about Gilson Snow. It’s a company that continues to grow larger and larger with each passing year, it has been truly an inspiration to watch this fantastic company grow. I was fortunate enough to find this company at the very early stages back in 2015 and haven’t rode another board since. It’s not just the board that makes this company, its the people in it. Everyone in the company is great and they will do there damnedest to give you the best service they can. Whether it be meeting you in the middle of Denver during a convention to loan you a board to test out or take time out of their busy day to show you the shop and help build your board this company puts the customer first. From start to finish they will be there to make sure your experience is the best possible. Whether your a park guy or cruiser they have something for everyone. So not only are the boards amazing but the team that builds them are even better. From the shop to the mountain your guaranteed a great experience. So if you haven’t tried Gilson board or skis, check them out you won’t be disappointed.

  How many of you out there have purchased an item and that company took the time to walk you through their factory and step by step production line? Ending up in the shipping room where your item was waiting for you. No? That's what I did today at Gilson Snow. They are one of very few American Snowboard and Ski companies, also located in Enola, PA. I test rode their product early this year and purchased one of the first 2018 production boards. The owner of the company, Nick Gilson even came down and talked shop for a bit. Furthermore this is a snowboard/ski company run by skiers and riders. I can't say enough about Gilson, what an experience today. The only bad part is I have to wait 3 more months to ride it...
