The Mothership is the world’s first 100% clean energy snowboard production facility.
As the CAPiTA base station and manufacturing home, The Mothership — distinguished as a flagship of responsible manufacturing — was awarded the Energy Globe Award for the Carinthia region in 2017.
Known as Nature’s Nobel Prize, with 178 participating countries, the Energy Globe is today’s most prestigious environmental award. It is presented annually to projects focusing on renewable energies and the conservation of resources.
OUR SNOWBOARDS ARE CRAFTED WITH 98% LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS.
50% AUSTRIA
48% GERMANY / SLOVENIA / SWITZERLAND / ITALY
In addition to our clean energy intiatives at The Mothership, its unique location amongst the mountainous border region of Austria, Slovenia and Italy gives us access to locally sourced materials and advanced R&D capabilities right in our backyard.
Using regional ground travel to obtain materials instead of pan-continental trucking or global air freight, not only supports local businesses but also results in less energy used and less emissions released.
Our dedication to building the world’s best snowboards, with the most efficient and sustainable processes, is galvanized by the company mantra —
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
