Making a totally girlie eco-friendly set of skis that is designed especially for a women’s center of gravity (which is further back and lower than men’s). Flax cultivation is more earth-friendly than bamboo, poplar cores come from controlled forests, 50% of the inks have been reduced, soles are 25% recycled and the composites are designed to leach less. You go girl! www.rossignol.com
