California's Boone Skis Hits Market With World's First 'Green' Skis
ALAMEDA, Calif., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Dubbed the 'Sexiest Skis on the
Planet'; Boone Skis (http://www.booneskis.com) now introduces the greenest.
The company's three lines: Twins Skis
(http://www.booneskis.com/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=2), Superfreak
(http://www.booneskis.com/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=4) and Magic
Sticks (http://www.booneskis.com/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=3) combine
the newest technology with sustainable ingredients. The skis contain a
vertical laminated wood core made of bamboo, a natural and fast growing plant
long heralded for its eco-friendly uses.
"It was really important to us that we be environmentally conscious when
we designed our skis," says Erik Boone, founder of Boone Skis. "We take this
green movement to heart. This is just one small thing Boone Skis can do to
lessen our impact on the Earth. The double benefit for us is that bamboo is a
terrific material for our high performance skis. Using bamboo is not a
compromise. It truly is a great product."
Boone's skis come in both 93mm and 82mm lengths. The 93mm is ideal for
powder skiing on any slope. The 82mm version is just right for park or urban
settings. If you are into extreme videos and want to see what these skis can

Who is Boone Skis?
Boone Skis is the onlyCalifornia owned and operated ski company. Founder
Erik Boone started Boone Skis in 2007, with one goal in mind, to create a
business he believed in. "When I was pursuing my MBA, I really took my
professors' words to heart," remembers Boone. "They challenged me to combine
my passion with my career. I've been skiing since I was a kid inIdaho, so
starting my own ski company was a logical move."
Boone Skis is a boutique outfit, forging just 500 sets of high-performance
skis this year. "We didn't want to flood the market right away," says Boone.
"There is a method to our madness. By keeping our product run low, we were
able to keep our costs in line and focus on quality."
Boone Skis' 2008 line offers three distinct graphic designs. "The art on
our skis is the icing on the cake," says Boone. "Why shouldn't your skis look
as hot as they ride? Ours do."
