snoCAD-X is an open source CAD program for designing skis and snowboards. It was written by Dan Graf of Graf Snowboards in 2007 and has been widely used since then. In 2014 it was open sourced in order to allow the greater ski and snowboard building community to carry it forward.

snoCAD_X is published on Github at https://github.com/mikemag/snoCAD-X

I was able to get this to run on a Raspberry Pi. In the pictures I have it installed with TwistorOS, but I have been successful installing it on the standard Raspberry Pi OS. If people are interested I can log how to go about it.
