Eco-Wax for Your Mountain Flow

As skiers we get obsessed with the weather and what affects it, particularly as it relates to snow. Change is the essence of climate – climate is the trending of changes in the weather, and you don’t need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows. With a bit of extra work, we can reduce our impact and this is the motivation driving the folks at MountainFlow where they develop lubricants that are environmentally friendly using plant based materials, not petroleum. No matter how you slide: free, locked or sideways, Mountain Flow’s Eco-Wax keeps the glide in your slide.

It is hard to imagine the wax we leave in our wake amounts to much impact. Even so the guiding principal of wilderness preservation is to leave no trace. It’s impossible to avoid zero impact, but with Eco-Wax you can rest assured the biodegradable ingredients you leave behind will have a negligible impact, like how significant your presence is in blocking the wind.

sustainable slide

Eco-Wax comes in the usual flavors based on air temperature; Warm, Norm, and Cold. If you need something more specialized, sustainability is not your top priority. For the average downhill junkie though, Eco-Wax is all you need and you can use it with confidence you’re minimizing your footprint while maximizing your Tele tracks.

Now available at discerning stores or online. Google it.

    I got their Hot wax and my lord was it a pain to scrape. Plus it gums up your scrapper and you have to constantly clean it and sharper the scrapper. I found using the crayon method and very little wax works best. If you let the wax cool over night it’s even more difficult to scrape. It does however has a nice smell when your hot waxing. Compared to Swix I think Mountain Flow glides slower. Just my opinion.

    Swix flouro you can’t beat their wax.

      I agree about the scraping. I really love the idea of a wax that isn’t polluting our mountains, but some new kind of (heated?) scraping tools are required to finish the job.
