Yeah absolutely, and I think a lot of my understanding of where that industry is at, is outdated.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.

The irony of this is that forever chemicals are the least of their worries when glaciers are receding like never before and when they're defacing otherwise largely untouched glaciers.

Patagonia did a good film on it last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eofG6Z-YBxA

Saved for later, thanks - I find it hard to engage with PG stuff in my inbox (or any other brand content for that matter, spent too long on the Rapha end of it).
