• Participate in ComEd efficiency programs - have added energy efficient lighting throughout store. Motion sensor lights in less trafficked areas to reduce electricity usage.

• We recycle aluminum.

• We offer sustainable brands -

  • Teak companies: Gloster & NS Teak both are plantation grown teak with constant re-planting of new trees.

  • Apparel: Picture Organic - Recycled materials to produce technical ski clothing.

  • Many of our ski brands are using recycled materials in new ski production. We continue to add this product to our lineup as they develop into quality skiing skis.

• Recycled ski poles. All our daily rental ski poles are made from recycled aluminum.
