Greening up your snowboarding trip

First off don't meet your buddy up there, carpool! or better yet, go on a ski bus!

Second, if you need a new board, buy a used one, or if you must buy new, try one of these arbor board made of sustainable woods:http://www.backcountry.com/store/subcat/49/c/b100000000/Arbor-Snowboards.html

Third, Use a non- petroleum based wax such as this Terra Nova universal ski wax from Ethica:
