Far West Environment Award
The Application deadline is March 18 2024.
The FWSA Environment Award was graciously sponsored from its inception in 2015 by
Aspen/Snowmass,
The Gant Aspen and
The Crestwood Condominium Hotel. Sadly, that sponsorship ended in 2023. We are currently seeking new sponsorship for this award. Stay tuned.
Aspen/Snowmass, an early leader in the ski industry reducing their carbon footprint, proposed this award for FWSA in 2015.
This recognition program encourages development of awareness and programs that educate club and council members about sustaining snowsports through conservation and protection of our environment. The award recognizes a special action the applicant took, or something he or she put in place that made an impact in the community.
The applicant could have arranged an event(s) for their club, council or general public or published articles or stories to help spread awareness of effective ways to mitigate climate change and protect our environment, in support of snowsports industry initiatives such as the National Ski Areas Association “Sustainable Slopes” program (http://www.nsaa.org/environment/sustainable-slopes/) or the Snowsports Industries America “Climate Policy Agenda” (https://www.snowsports.org/climate-tools/climate-policy-agenda/).
