Winter sports offer a unique opportunity to engage with and support sustainability efforts, especially in places like Colorado, known for its stunning natural landscapes and outdoor activities. Here are five ways we can actively help the planet while enjoying the outdoors in winter in Colorado: 1. Biodiversity and Carbon Sequestration: Engage in efforts that focus on biodiversity and carbon sequestration, similar to the initiatives at Copper Mountain Resort. These include collecting and replanting native seeds to foster biodiversity and experimenting with nature-based methods to capture carbon in plants and soil, ultimately reducing atmospheric carbon. 2. Promote Healthy Ecosystems on Ski Slopes: Support ski resorts that are working towards ecological sustainability. This can be done by choosing resorts that are conscious of their environmental impact, like those trying to enrich their ecological biodiversity and those using innovative methods to improve soil health on their ski slopes. 3. Choose Eco-friendly Ski Resorts:@Aspen-Skiing-Company, known as Aspen Snowmass, is one example of a ski resort company that has put sustainability and responsible management front and center in their business model. They operate four mountains - Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highland, and Buttermilk. Every mountain is managed to protect and enhance the natural environment on the mountain. More than simply being low impact, they seek to have a positive impact. 4. Sustainable Activities in Eco-Friendly Towns: Explore towns like Glenwood Springs, which runs on 100% renewable energy. You can enjoy natural, chemical-free hot springs powered by geothermal energy or visit amusement parks that use renewable electricity. 5. Support Sustainable Local Businesses and Activities: Participate in sustainable tourism by supporting local businesses and activities that focus on environmental stewardship. You can take part in private guided hikes with companies committed to sustainability or enjoy nature while minimizing impact by exploring lesser-known areas and participating in eco-friendly activities like snowshoeing and ice skating. With just a little forethought, we can make decisions that support our eco- friendly initiatives even during winter sports. Aspen Skiing Company #skiing #wintersports #greeninititives #ecofriendly

Choosing the Perfect Location Location is a key factor in a glamping business. It should offer privacy, proximity to nature, and easy access to nearby attractions or activities.
