Did you know that most ski and snowboard wax is made from toxic petroleum products? The good news is that new high performance and eco-friendly wax products are now available. This season, Sugarbush is excited to offer sustainable, non-toxic wax from mountainFLOW. The Sugarbush rental and demo fleet will all be waxed with mountainFLOW this season, and guests and employees have the options to have their equipment tuned with it too! MountainFLOW products are also available for purchase in retail.
Why use mountainFLOW? Here’s their story!
MountainFLOW’s 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, their wax contains 0% petroleum.
As your skis slide on the snow, small pieces of 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.
Our hope is that every skier and ruder will make the choice to use a product that works great and is more friendly to our mountain playgrounds.
