I’m currently in France, and sat down with Rossignol’s David Bouvier to talk about Rossignol’s unique “Essential” ski, which is vastly more recyclable than any traditionally constructed ski. David and I discuss the origin of the project; the challenges posed by making the circular economy of a ski a priority; who this Essential ski is for; and how this project will influence other Rossignol products.
