[](http://crownskis.com)images via global.skipass.com Vancouver designed and manufactured, Crown Skis offers a boutique line of customizable skis made for and by high-performance skiers. Their lines consistently sell out every year, and beyond favouring a highly local business model, the company seeks to reduce their environmental footprint wherever possible and eventually produce the world’s first fully sustainable line of high-performance freeride skis. Nice to see some big thinking – keep up the great work, guys!
