WNDR Alpine was born out of a need for new materials and better products.
From the clothing we wear to the fuel we put in our vehicles, the modern world is built on petroleum.
Approximately 167 years after it was first pumped from the ground, our species has wrung this oil for all it's worth. Every material, every molecule, and every type of fuel has been explored and exploited.
To answer our current era's most pressing conundrum, we looked to Nature. After all, she's had a 3.7 billion year head start.
Pairing the ancient biological process of fermentation with 21st century biotechnology, we've found a way to produce a new, better source of renewable oil. And with this oil, we've been able to create materials and ingredients with new capabilities.
As we forge onward into 2025, we're proud to bring you a new lineup of skis, snowboards, splitboards, and apparel - all with heightened performance delivered by biotechnology. Thanks for being part of our journey.
