Our Commitment to the Environment

By following the guidelines of the North American leading NSAA (National Ski Area Association) Sustainable Slopes Program, Fernie Alpine Resort is able to provide the level of care for the environment that matches both our corporate vision and core team commitment. Some of our continual efforts as a part of our commitment to the environment include:

1. Water Conservation - low or no flow toilets, newest snowmaking technology that uses less water and less energy and creates the best possible snow surface.

2. Energy Conservation - Carpool programs, less use of vehicles for work, replaced older and less efficient pumps in snowmaking with an energy efficient state-of-the-art system that overall uses less energy.

3. Recycling - Use corn-based garbage bags that easily bio-degrade, paper & cardboard waste program as well as bottle, cup, and can recycle program.
