Performance First. Sustainable Always.
We started with a simple question: “How can we improve the skiing experience without introducing toxic chemicals into the mountain environments that we love?”
We found that most ski wax products were toxic to both the user and the environment and determined that there must be a better solution.
This led us on a multi-year journey of research, product testing, head scratching, iteration, joy, disappointment, and ultimately a heck of a lot of skiing!
We’re not scientists and we’re not chemists but we know what feels good on our skis and what constitutes an environmentally responsible product.
Certifications
Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
Biobased products provide all the benefits as conventional products: they are cost-comparative... and perform as well or better than their petroleum-containing counterparts...
PLANT-BASED
Our line of eco-friendly ski and snowboard waxes are all made from plants. Whereas most ski wax is made from petroleum, created as a by-product of the oil refining process, our wax contains 0% petroleum.
As your skis slide on the snow, small pieces of the wax are pulled out of your bases and into the snowpack. With a traditional ski wax, petroleum and/or fluorocarbon particles are transported into the snowpack and eventually into the watershed. With mountainFLOW’s wax, only pieces of all-natural, plant wax are introduced into the environment.
ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING
Our eco-clamshells are biodegradable and made from 100% recycled material.
We try to avoid plastic, but the plastic we do use is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material.
Our bike wash degreaser utilizes an innovative bottle design which uses 70% less plastic than a normal bottle.
