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.

The Environment Award is designed to encourage good stewardship of our environment. We want to inspire and reward creative efforts to conserve and protect our environment. This award should recognize a special action that the applicant took, or something he or she put in place that made a difference.

  • Conduct or arrange an event(s) for your club, council or the general public that focuses on the principles of “Protect Our Winters' (POW)” mission to engage and mobilize the snowsports community to lead the fight against climate change with a focus on educational initiatives, advocacy and community-based activism. Stage an event based on one or more of the seven actions of the POW pledge. Learn more about POW at http://protectourwinters.org/about-us/.
  • Work with your club or council and your local ski area to develop or improve your ski area's “Sustainable Slopes” program. This program was adopted by the ski industry in 2000. It provides an overarching framework for ski areas on sustainability and enhanced environmental performance. Learn more about Sustainable Slopes and NSAA’s Environmental Charter http://www.nsaa.org/environment/sustainable-slopes/.
