"From renewable energy to waterless restrooms, sustainability is now a core value for resorts. That is why seeing trash on a pristine run feels like a personal affront. That is why picking up litter on the slopes or in the lodge is such a huge deal. Skiing and snowboarding are small communities, and we can all do our share to make it a better experience for everyone."
"Every lift is different, but for the experienced skier, it's an afterthought. But for those trying the sport for the first time, or if it's their first time riding a particular lift, it can be intimidating. That is why helping someone get on or off the lift safely is a significant act of kindness at the resort. Even just letting your fellow lift riders know which way you're headed at offloading can help avoid an awkward or injury-prone situation."
Skiers and snowboarders act as stewards of the mountain, embracing sustainability measures like renewable energy and waterless restrooms. Seeing trash on runs is considered a personal affront, and picking up litter on slopes or in lodges maintains cleanliness and preserves the experience for future generations. Lift loading and unloading can intimidate beginners, so offering guidance, steadying hands, or verbal cues prevents awkward or injury-prone situations and keeps lines moving. Small acts of kindness such as helping with gondola exits, advising on offloading, and encouraging hesitant riders foster belonging and make the ski resort experience safer and more welcoming.
