Mount St Louis Moonstone is dedicated to a greener (and therefore snowier!) future— The resort’s commitment to peak sustainability aims to transform our ski resort by 2030, setting new standards for the industry and leaving a legacy for responsible adventure.
We’re Committed to Putting in the Work
We’re not without flaws, but we’re committed to listening to underrepresented voices and understanding that sustainibility is an ongoing process. We are striving for progress over perfection.
MSLM’s Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge:
- demonstrate our commitment to improving the sustainability performance between now and 2030
- take full account of the resort’s current and future economic, social and environmental impacts,
- address the needs of visitors, the ski industry, the environment and our communities
Each season, the resort commits to measuring and improving its sustainability performance.
MSLM’s goal:
- become a responsible leader in sustainable tourism
- recognize its positive impact far beyond our mountain, our business and the protection of our local environment.
The resort will set new goals and create measurable results every season to help safeguard the area we are all so lucky to live, work and play at.
