I'm guessing the wood was still logged with gasoline powered logging equipment, shipped on a diesel logging truck, iron ore for the edges mined with diesel, production of carbon fiber, final shipment, etc.

My guess is that the actual production of the skis is a fairly small part of the carbon footprint. Heck, I probably spent more energy in driving to the shop to pick them up than was used in making them.

Carbon credits. What a crock!

You either have terrible reading comprehension or just plain commented on a thread without bothering to read the link. Nice job dude!:angry:

Mukachevo Ukraine. Now *there's* a crrrockkkkk. Or at least a really rundown town. Nice to know they're creating ski jobs in that part of the world.

True. My bad. The usual thing is carbon credits when something like this is reported. Should read. Apologies.

there are 950 people building 700,000 pair of skis in that factory...its got to take a huge amount of energy to run the whole operation, heat, lights, machinery, etc...sounds like a solid step in the right direction to me.

I'm not sure...and I'm not really concerned. I shop based on price and features. How the skis were made are at the bottom of my list. Well, actually, it not even on my list. That's just me though. Whatever floats your boat.
