Spring is here, but if you want to get one more trip to the winter ski slopes on the calendar why not make it a little more eco-friendly? According to a recent study on climate change-induced snowfall reduction, lowering your carbon footprints in the snow is becoming increasingly important - over the next 50 years, snowpack in the western United States will diminish by 70 percent.

One easy thing you can do to help? Take advantage of the end-of-season sales and get yourself a new, greener, snowboard boot. For women, Forum’s Aura Snowboard Boot is a great choice (and currently half off!). The mod polka dot design will keep you looking cool while the eco-friendly aspects will help keep the slopes cool. First of all, the outsole is made from recycled rubber. Natural rubber is already a green choice since it’s a sustainable material, so sourcing recycled rubber is even better. Second, this snowboard boot is designed to keep your feet smelling fresh even after a day of sweating on the slopes. While many traditional snowboard companies would get the task done with toxic chemicals, Forum treats the liner with an eco-friendly option Aegis Microbe Shield, which is made from silicon derived from quartz, organic alcohol, hydrocarbons and nitrogen.
