Lil' Ripper Gripper

Lil' Ripper Gripper Lil Ripper Gripper is a 5point harness worn by children to easily&safely teach skiing or snowboarding Why not make the leash retractable? Duncan

Hi, I'm Duncan - the inventor and developer of the Lil' Ripper Gripper. We are a family owned and operated business in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My wife, Karen, and children, Gavin, Riley, and Tegan, have been instrumental in product design and development. We are lucky to live in an area that allows us to ski about 40 days a year - a sport that I have been enjoying for 46 years now! While teachin

g my daughter, Tegan, how to ski, I saw that the ski harnesses available on the market were unsafe and lacking in some functionality. The primary concern was that the leash on the harnesses was often loose and dangling while riding lifts. If caught on the chairlift, this could spell disaster for the youngster attached to the harness. I also noticed that no snowboard harnesses were commercially available, yet there are many young snowboarders on the mountain who could benefit from the opportunity to ride and learn while using a harness. Why not develop a harness that could be used for both skiers and snowboarders? This is how the Lil' Ripper Gripper was born. I hope that this training harness will bring you the happiness that comes with active family time on the mountains!

Huge thank you to everyone who purchased a Lil’ Ripper Gripper harness this season.

Because of your support, we’ve been able to direct a portion of proceeds toward sponsoring Canadian Ski Team racer Amelia Smart. It feels incredibly meaningful to help reduce some of the financial pressure athletes face — especially in an Olympic year.

Chasing podiums takes more than talent. It takes a community. This season, you’re part of that team.

Next stop: Åre, Sweden.

Let’s go Amelia.

Not so humble brag time.
This is the original lil’ ripper — the kid I designed the Lil’ Ripper Gripper harness for when she was just 2 years old.

Fast forward thirteen years and she’s out there collecting skicross podiums across Canada. From first turns to full sends… turns out the prototype worked.
