Coastal Jibs Inc.

What Coastal Jibs Inc. does

Coastal Jibs Inc. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of snow and bike park equipment, founded circa 2007 and headquartered in a single workshop at 4085 Rue Lesage, Sherbrooke, Quebec. The company designs and handcrafts terrain park hardware—rails, boxes, jibs, and custom modules—for professional ski resorts and snowboard facilities, alongside a consumer-facing Backyard Jibs line for residential installation. Its product portfolio spans winter (Snowpark Modules, Backyard Jibs, custom features, and a Snowtools family including the Swinger Rake, Scoop Rake, Vert Shovel, Junior Swinger Rake, and La Charrue Rake) and summer (Bike Park Equipment, the Beaver dirt-tool sub-brand with OG, AB1, and BR1 models, and Skate Rails), plus replacement parts (HDPE sheets, rail wax) and branded apparel merchandise. Technical differentiators include UV-treated HDPE sliding surfaces, powder-coated aluminum construction, laser-cut teeth on snowtools, and a standard 5-year limited warranty extendable to 10 years through a refurbishment program.

The company sells through two channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store at shop.coastaljibs.ca (shipping to Canada and USA, with local pickup at the Sherbrooke workshop) and direct enterprise sales to ski resorts, bike parks, trail builders, and event organizers. Documented customers include more than 100 ski resorts across Canadian provinces (Atlantic, Ontario, Quebec, West) and US regions (Northeast, Midwest, West)—among them Mont Tremblant, Sunday River, Winter Park, Telluride, and Big Sky—alongside event and brand customers such as Today's Park & Creations, Red Bull, Burton, and Monster Energy. Products are priced in CAD with unit-based transactional pricing ranging from $30 for branded beanies to $1,725 for large HDPE flat boxes and higher for custom work.

Coastal Jibs is founder-owned and independently operated by Richard Côté (Founder and President), with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. The firm is a member of the PTBA Vendor Network and operates with a small team (1-10 employees), positioning itself as a boutique, vertically integrated manufacturer serving both enterprise resort clients and long-tail individual consumers across North America.
