Our Promise

As skiers, snowboarders, and winter sports enthusiasts, we spend all of our time in the mountains and are conscious of our environment. Elevate Outdoor Collective is committed to making a more sustainable future for both people and the planet.

We move forward with conscious discipline towards creating the best and longest lasting products. We are mindful about manufacturing processes, we are determined to make more sustainable material choices and we will continually explore product innovation. We will work toward creating better end-of-life uses for our products that is more sustainable than disposing of the product and will always strive to reduce our impact.

We will also continue to promote inclusivity and forward progression for all people within our community. This remains our commitment to our sports, to our consumers, and to the mountains and natural world that we live and play in.

As we live and play in the mountains, we prioritize our commitment to the planet.
