If you have your own skis or board, invest in some eco-friendly wax. Traditional waxes contain flurocarbons and paraffin which are transferred directly from your skis or board to the snow which is pretty bad for all the local wildlife. These chemicals are all breathed in on a regular basis by ski and board techs which has been scientifically proven to be really bad for your health.

Luckily for us (and ski techs), there are loads of companies that make all natural  wax, like Magic Potion, Butta or Purl which are all biodegradable and manufactured responsibly.
