Green Christmas ski holiday in U.S., anyone?
Are you planning a green Christmas ski holiday in the United States? Ski resorts are increasingly going greener like Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort which is stepping up its efforts to preserve and protect the environment.
It was the first California ski area to partner with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation which offered guests mini-green tags to purchase and offset their carbon footprint with renewable energy. Now, the resort is expanding its ‘green’ initiatives with new programs including a Habitat Management Plan for the entire 8,000 acres of resort property. Other initiatives include LEED certified development and a Rideshare program to transport guests around the resort.
“We’ve always been believers in the fact that our resort operations and any development that takes place at the resort needs to be implemented in a way that is environmentally responsible, ” says Tim Silva, general manager of Northstar-at-Tahoe Resort.
“We’ve worked hard to develop the resort’s Habitat Management Plan, and are committed to managing our property to enhance natural resource values while operating a successful business.”
