In the era of climate change awareness, the ski industry is seeking a more sustainable future. As the effects of climate change strike the United States larger resorts have begun to invest in their future with renewable energy sources and more sustainable practices. As sustainability is in high demand eyes turn to smaller resorts across the United States as they struggle to meet the same goals as larger resorts. As a part of this research, interviews have been conducted with sustainability coordinators at resorts of different scales to address how they are approaching their sustainability goals. The strategies may surprise you.
