Play Forever: Sustainability and Environmental EffortsAt Snowbird, we want to ski, ride, hike and enjoy this incredible land forever. Climate change is real, and it is affecting the ski industry. It is imperative that we do our part to make decisions that help the environment and maintain our cold, white winters. We’re taking action via our Play Forever program.
Environmental Quick Facts:• 75% of Snowbird’s summer power and 55% of the winter power is produced in-house from the Clean Natural Gas Co-Generation Plant.• Since the start of the glass recycling program in the summer of 2017, Snowbird has recycled 100,000 pounds of glass.• New for 2020, for each season pass product sold prior to September 30, Snowbird, in partnership with Nokian Tyres, will facilitate the planting of 1 tree to help mitigate a portion of transportation emissions related to travel to and from the resort.• Through the R.I.D.E. program, more than 250,000 pounds of carbon dioxide were kept out of the atmosphere last winter alone.
