MountainFLOW, a brand specialising in outdoor maintenance
A brand born from skiing
MountainFLOW was created in 2016 by Peter Arlein, a former professional skier. The brand started with an anti-stick spray designed to reduce snow and ice build-up on skis. It then developed its range of plant-based waxes, before expanding into other outdoor activities:
- Ski and snowboard: the core of the range, with waxes for all snow conditions
- Touring skis: a dedicated range for climbing skins and touring skis
- Cycling: lubricants and cleaners for mountain and road bike maintenance
- Outdoor accessories: gradual development of other products, such as ski poles made from recycled aluminium
Performance and reduced environmental impact
Depending on the product, mountainFLOW offers several commitments:
- Plant-based formulations for most waxes
- Biodegradable products in certain ranges
- Petroleum-free waxes (PFAS-free is a key focus for the brand)
- Packaging made from recycled materials for some products

MountainFLOW for touring skis
Wax for climbing skins
- Skin Wax Rub On: wax to apply directly to climbing skins
- Skin Wax Spray: water-based spray for quick application (bottle made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic)
Why use wax on your skins?
- Reduce snow build-up: prevents snow from sticking to skins during ascents
- Keep skins drier: dry skins glide better and weigh less
- Improve glide on the way up: reduces resistance when climbing
- Maintain good grip: wax does not reduce uphill grip
MountainFLOW's eco-friendly approach
- Plant-based waxes: some waxes are fully plant-based, biodegradable and non-toxic
- Petroleum-free: several products are promoted as eco-friendly ski waxes without petroleum derivatives
- Recycled materials: recycled packaging for some products (e.g. Skin Wax Spray bottle)
