EcoSki & Sustainability

A truck full of textiles is thrown away every second, even though it took countless resources to produce. Meanwhile our planet is heating up and our glaciers are retreating.

Skiing is by no means a clean sport. Travelling to the mountains, the infrastructure needed to run the resort and the vast amount of clothing and equipment required. It all impacts the environment.

We care about how things are made, how manufacturers and suppliers are treated, and what happens to our skiwear next. We believe that what goes into the clothes we wear should be as common a question as what goes into the food we eat

4 ways to shop more responsibly

There are ski brands out there who are dedicated to producing the best technical wear and are equally passionate about limiting their social and environmental impact.

We acknowledge however that no matter how “friendly” our ski kit is, the current linear “make – take – dispose” model is broken and needs fixing.

We want to help skiers make better choices, limit unnecessary purchases (and waste) and keep this hard-wearing kit in circulation for longer.

To do so we have provided 4 very clear choices: Repair, Rent, Preowned or New “kit with a conscience”. All of which will be providing a more positive step towards a circular solution.

Join us on our mission to become more conscious and responsible; stopping to think about the ingredients in each item of clothing.

Brand Selection Criteria

Driven by this desire to find high performance, stylish and sustainable skiwear, we have devised a unique EcoSki Selection Criteria setting out the qualities that we value and the breadth of considerations that go into producing a more sustainable product.

Below you’ll find the full list of credentials you can expect to find from the skiwear on our website.

Compiled with guidance from Rachel Fortune (The Sustainable Lifestyle Awards) our selection criteria considers 4 key areas:

1. 1. Ethical and sustainable credentials
   2. Technical and safety performance
   3. Style, design and comfort
   4. Durability

Of course, it’s unrealistic to expect each brand to be achieving every single one of the follow credentials, but it is encouraging and exciting to learn what changes are being made in order for us all to live, and ski, more responsibly.
