Lil' Ripper Gripper

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

Spring is here.
The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer, and the sun is shining — the perfect time to get outside and teach your Lil’ Ripper to ski or snowboard.
The Lil Ripper Gripper helps make learning easier, safer, and more fun for both kids and parents. It’s a simple way to help young riders build confidence while creating great days together on the mountain.
Grab your gear, head for the hill, and let the little shredders rip.

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.

Today we celebrate 13 seasons of Lil’ Ripper Gripper — what started as a simple idea has now helped thousands of lil’ rippers take their first turns with confidence.
From fewer tears and tantrums to fewer sore backs for parents, it’s been one incredible ride.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Here’s to the next chapter on the snow!
