Yeah absolutely, and I think a lot of my understanding of where that industry is at, is outdated. Eco waxes, epoxies and resins have come a long way from what I understand, as well as more sustainable core materials. Still, I think wax ending up directly on the mountain is a huge issue.
edit::: not to mention the air travel & resort running carbon footprints for such pursuits.

It’s big - a lot of the Scandinavian outdoor/snow brands started transitioning way back, and there’s some interesting alternatives emerging. Be great to see where we’re at in 5, 10 years.
