Tips and ideas for SkiersSo – what can you actually do then and will it make a difference? Well, actually there many choices you can make when planning your holiday, working out the journey and when in resort and, yes, they do make a difference. The good news is that they all will help you have a better and more memorable holiday as well as helping to minimise your impact on the environment and maximise the benefits to the local community.
And what is in this for you? Some sites and groups like to talk about easing your guilt and expect you to have a degree in Environmental Science, but Responsible Skiing is not about that. It’s about engaging with the mountain destination, enjoying your activity in beautiful surroundings, and having a fun and memorable stay but not at the cost of the environment or the local population. It’s treasuring their home and ensuring it stays beautiful and intact for generations to come. And we all want that. |  Planning your ski tripGreat tips - find out more

 | Getting to your resort...Many ski resorts and mountain communities are way ahead of the rest of us in utilising green energy, insulating their homes, and recycling their waste. In fact, once in resort – if you choose well – you might even be more ‘green’ than you are at home! The part of your holiday which has the biggest impact on the environment is, without question, the journey - so for tips on having a more relaxing journey and minimising your CO2 emissions, look at - Tips and ideas for Skiers - Getting to your resort

 | When you are there...Once in resort, just a simple act like collecting your litter and disposing of it in a recycling bin can make an enormous difference. Did you know that one cigarette butt can pollute a cubic metre of snow? Not skiing through roped off areas protects delicate wildlife hidden under the snow. There are many other activities available in resorts besides downhill skiing that are low impact and just as much fun. So for other ways to make a difference read – Tips and ideas for Skiers - When you are there.
