The Story
Every mountain has a story. Every trail, a memory.
On the front of the T-bar lift. The peak of your first run. The first time you carved through knee-deep snow. The place you return to, year after year.
Often when you think your legs can't take any more back-to-mogul bumps, you see the sign and know you're almost there. It's a feeling. A marker. A moment you'll never forget. A memory bound to adventure.
This wood sign brings those moments home.
It's not just a wall. It's a part of the mountain. Imagine it on a rustic bedroom wall, above a fireplace, or in a ski chalet. It's a reminder of the runs you've conquered, the powder you've chased, and the trails you'll return to. Each sign is hand-carved with precision and made in Canada by a family-run workshop that knows what it means to craft something that lasts.
Bring Your Run Home
This isn't just décor—it's a way to keep the mountain close.
- Choose Your Run: Tell us the name of the trail and the resort. Whether it's a double black diamond or a favorite cruiser, we'll carve it.
- Pick Your Wood: Select from three carefully-sourced wood types, each with its own character. From classic pine to premium maple, each piece tells a different story. (See our wood options below.)
- Pick Your Size: Available in multiple sizes to fit any space—from a cozy cabin nook to a statement wall piece. For some guidance read our sizing blog.
- We Carve It: Your text is hand-carved deep into the wood (not just painted on). It's a carved classic mountain sign, built to last.

- Available Run Symbols: Green Circle, Blue Square, Black Diamond (Single, Double, Triple), Terrain Park (Orange Rectangle), and more... just ask!
- Wood Choices:
| Wood Type | Swatch | Characteristics |
| Knotty Eastern Pine |  |
Best for indoor use. Rustic character with prominent knots and warm grain. Softer wood carves more easily but less precisely for fine details. |
| North American Ash |  |
Can be used outdoors. Durable hardwood with beautiful grain, weather-resistant when sealed. Very few knots. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
| Canadian Eastern Maple |  |
Best for indoor use. Smooth, clean appearance with very few knots. Some relatively minor colour variation. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
- Distressed Finish (Optional): We can gently weather the sign to give it the look of a season on the mountain.

Materials
Materials
Here are the standard wood options
All our products are made from solid wood ie. no MDF or plywood unless specified for a custom order.
Wood by its very nature (being an all natural material) has its character traits ... some species more than others. Knotty Pine of course has knots and significant colour variation is possible.
Maple is more predictable with very few knots, and bring a fairly dense wood it machines precisely. Ash is similar with the added benefit of being more resistant to rot so a good fit for outdoor use.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
We will start to make your sign AFTER any personalization has been approved via email [we send you a computer rendering within 72hrs of receiving your order]. It then takes about 5 days once you have given approval via email reply to carve, finish, pack & ship. During busy periods such as the Xmas rush this can increase to 2 weeks and larger / volume orders can also take longer.
NOTE: We are not responsible for delays caused by customs or other carrier-related delays out of our control. When your order ships you will get a calculated ESTIMATED time of arrival based on the carrier's own standards, but this is not a guaranteed arrival date.
We only ship with trackable methods such as Canada Post Expedited Parcel, UPS Ground, Purolator Ground, etc.
Contact us within 14 days of receipt with any damage or other product concerns. For returns we need to receive the product back within 30 days of you receiving it and it must be in new condition (unless of course it arrived damaged).
Dimensions
Dimensions
We actually make our products using mm but we will quote sizes in both mm & the closest inch dimensions. It's just way more precise to use mm in the workshop.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
We use exterior grade paints and all sign products have an exterior clear coat on the front and edges.
We can paint the back side also if you ask.
As long as you avoid spilling anything on the wood or wipe off immediately then there should be minimal maintenance required ... wipe down with a damp cloth.
As with any wood product try to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations as the wood can distort. Some amount of fading is to be expected with any painted wood product exposed to the sun & elements over time ... much in the same way that the siding on a house or your car will fade in the sun eventually.
