If you’re a woman ready to go zooming down the slopes this winter but want to make as little environmental impact as possible when you buy new skis, it’s time you looked at Rossignol. The Attraxion Echo Ski is touted as one of the greenest options around for accomplished women skiers who can’t wait for the season’s first snowfall.
These skis boast cores made of poplar wood harvested from sustainable forests as well as natural linen fibers to bind parts inside. The skis also use fewer petroleum-based products and about half the ink-on-graphics of normal skis. Twenty-five percent of the overall materials, including the base, come from recycled materials. What’s not to love? Supremely well-crafted skis whose green bent allow you to enjoy the great outdoors and look after them at the same time.
