Meet the Founder

I grew up skiing in the Scottish Highlands and have so many fond childhood memories racing my brother and sister. I want countless generations to experience the same joys as I have.

A rubbish truck full of textiles is thrown away every second even though it took countless resources to produce. Meanwhile our planet is heating up and our snow is disappearing.

I want to help cut waste and raise awareness about how to kit out a family to ski without it “costing the earth”.  I have learned that there is currently no such thing as “eco-friendly” skiwear as the majority is made from plastic; but there are brands out there producing kit that is a lot “kinder” to the planet. By using recycled plastic and non-toxic materials whilst also exploring new innovative ways to reduce both their carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels, these brands are carving the way to a more sustainable future.

I hope that by bringing these brands together under one banner for the first whilst also offer a repairs and second hand service we will be keeping this kit in circulation and out of landfill for a lot longer.

Welcome to the EcoSki adventure (and what my husband refers to as my 4th child) an offering full of great ski gear and a platform for sharing, innovating, and inspiring.
