Climate Action Supported By The Outdoors Community
Low Impact Adventures, High Impact Donations
As outdoor professionals, we deeply value the mountain environment and are dedicated to sharing its beauty with our guests. Recognizing tourism's impact on this fragile ecosystem, we take responsibility for the carbon emissions generated by our industry.
Despite efforts to minimize our footprint, some emissions remain unavoidable. Therefore, supporting pro-climate nonprofits is crucial for advancing towards a zero-carbon future.
