    On this episode of the Legaski Podcast, I’m stoked to chat with Martin Volken, owner of Pro Ski and Mountain Service, and Simon Weiler from Fritschi, a Swiss company that’s been designing ski touring bindings for over 60 years.

Sven also spoke about Leki's commitment to sustainability, including their use of solar power and minimizing waste in production. He shared the story of the groundbreaking hemp poles Leki developed, pushing the boundaries of sustainable products in the ski industry. Finally, Sven reflected on the changes in the ski world over the past three decades, from the challenges athletes face to the rising costs of the sport. Despite the evolution of the industry, his passion for skiing remains as strong as ever. He even teased an upcoming film about his career, which will be showcased at the Backcountry Film Festival this winter.
