                                                            Case Studies

                                                            What is important to remember is that most resorts are doing something – and every little step is a step in the right direction.   There are very few resorts that are doing nothing towards Responsible Skiing.  

                                                            We've found some great case studies to show what can be done - either as a whole resort or a particular initiative.   They might not be doing everything right – however, they are managing their destination or a particular aspect according to the principles of Responsible Skiing.  

                                                            We’ll be continually adding to this page as we learn about what more resorts are doing - sharing good practice is the goal.

                                                            We've grouped the case studies below -
