The Rossignol Group is putting sustainability and smart growth first with Ascension 2026—a plan to invest $50 million over the next four years.

On the heels of launching the industry’s most sustainable ski, the company plans to boost investment in its manufacturing facilities in Europe, diversify its equipment, clothing and footwear to focus on four-season mountain sports, and commit to a contributory business model that respects the mountain environment where we all play.

So far the most notable product is Rossignol’s Essential Ski, which has shaken up an industry not previously known for sustainability. The Essential is 77% recyclable, which is about 10 times more recyclable than a traditional ski.

Rossignol worked with French recycling and waste management specialist MTB to create a ski structure with 35% wood, 35% aluminium, 7% steel, 12% plastic, 5% fine wood—and just 6% waste.

    “With this plan, we are moving Rossignol and its 115 years of history into the future, committing ourselves to creating sustainable, inclusive products for both summer and winter,” said President and CEO Vincent Wauters.

    “Through this roadmap, we will make industrial and environmental investments focused on renewable technologies and life-cycle management, including repairability, second-life uses and recyclability.”

    “Following on the heels of introducing the industry’s first recyclable ski, we will make our Sallanches site, the only ski factory in France, the world’s leading factory for eco-designed and recyclable skis.” 

    Wauters has also stated that Rossignol will use its investments and leadership position to drive revenue growth, targeting $500 million in 2026 (compared to $313 million for the 2021/22 fiscal year). 

    Within the $50 million it will invest in its brands over the next three years, Rossignol is targeting $27 million in industrial investments, $15 million of which is linked to its Respect environmental and social progress program. The remainder of this global figure represents investments in new products.

    Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
    Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
    @lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
    ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
    Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
    We came in search of the connection of the human spirit to both art and adventure, whether climbing from the depths of moulins and ice caves, breaking through ice while paddleboarding fjords, climbing icebergs, freediving between tectonic plates or surfing cold waves.
    A thousand and one things could have gone wrong, but she made it to the top:  @mariepier.desharnais is the first Quebecois woman to climb K2.
    Mountain Life is a proud member of the @printreleaf_ community. So far we've offset our print by having 1,737 trees reforested since joining in 2019! 🌲
    GUESS WHAT! It's FRIDAY! Here's a flick to kick off the weekend for all you warriors.
