Partnerships
Member of the Sustainable Slopes Environmental Charter for Ski Areas - The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), together with its member ski areas and partnering organizations, has created a set of voluntary environmental principles to aid in ski area planning, operations and education. The Charter reaffirms the commitment ski areas have in improving environmental performance in all aspects of operations and management of their specific properties, making possible their continued enjoyment by future generations.
EPA Green Power Partner – In 2009, we became a certified EPA Green Power Partner, which means we are recognized by the federal government as an industry leader in purchasing clean, green power via carbon offsets, and in our support of expanded renewable energy sources. Because we've gone over and above their minimum standards (our offsets are 100% windpower), we’re in an elite grouping known as the Leadership Club. No other PNW ski area has this status!
