About DOPE

DOPE builds snow gear the right way from Gothenburg, Sweden. Part of the Ridestore family since 2006, they launched their dedicated snow line around 2016 with a simple philosophy: let the riders design the gear. DOPE throws out traditional company structures and puts their community at the center of product development, creating snowboards and outerwear that actually solve problems riders face on the mountain.

This rider-led approach shows in everything they make. Instead of boardroom decisions, DOPE listens to feedback from their community and builds gear around real riding needs. Their snowboard collection reflects this direct connection to riders, while their apparel line includes everything from technical outerwear to casual sweatshirts and beanies that work both on and off the mountain. When a brand puts riders first instead of profits, you get gear that actually performs.
