One study reported that the average carbon footprint per skier could be as much as 74kg CO 2e per trip. Sustainability pushes resorts away from the negative spiral, where high carbon footprints catalyze climate change – which could ultimately render the ski industry obsolete. The benefits of sustainability for ski resorts.
