We are honored to receive the Golden Eagle Climate Change Impact Award from @NSAA_org for reaching 100% renewable electricity across our resorts in US and Canada – and 96% enterprise wide. Read about this recognition and more: https://t.co/rF6LDGeoYW

“[To reach zero net emissions at Vail Resorts] one of our most exciting projects is the Plum Creek Wind project—which [SO FAR] has helped us reach 85% renewable electricity across our North American resorts.”

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

“A potential pilot program here in Summit County [at Breck, Winter Park, and Copper] is looking to leverage Pepsi and Replenysh’s Bottle Loop solution to drive circularity in our collective resorts and communities.”

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

“Our call to action: If you are a community or business interested in participating—which would mean collecting plastic bottles/aluminum cans for our monthly recycling load: follow up with us. This might be the unlock to full circularity of bottles and cans for all of us.”

“You do not need all of the answers when you set out to solve climate change. When you set a bold goal [like Commitment to Zero] you just need to know that you could get there—and you will.” – @ksswayne

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

“We are taking action every day. And we look forward to being with you all the next couple of days as it will take all of us.” - @ksswayne

Together, we can do more to mitigate the impacts of climate change. @Eco_Ski interviews @VailResorts' Kate Wilson on Commitment to Zero challenges & opportunities, as well as our industry’s joint sustainability & advocacy pledge. Read here: https://t.co/iwFqYYukWd.

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

Through collaboration we’ll have the most impact on protecting the great outdoors. As we make progress toward our Commitment to Zero goal, we’re excited to join Alterra, Boyne Resorts & POWDR in the industry’s first unified effort to combat climate change. https://t.co/t1hWZtucPN

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

A pivotal day for climate action! In alignment w/ our commitment to preserving the places we live, work and play, we joined 400+ U.S. companies to urge the Administration to set this bold 2030 goal—placing the country on a path to zero net emissions by 2050. Let’s get to work.

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

On #EarthDay, and every day, we’re dedicated to preserving the places we love. Excited to kick off a re-envisioned partnership w/ @NationalForests (and our guests!) supporting critical conservation projects in Summit and Eagle County, CO. More here: https://t.co/KVrONPt7UA

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

We support ambitious action to address climate change. For our mountains and our planet—as part of a collective voice of 310 U.S. companies, we call on @POTUS to set a bold goal: cut GHG emissions by at least 50% below 2005 levels by 2030. Read more: https://t.co/MdXyLrpLdh

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

Across our resorts we’re committed to achieving a zero net operating footprint by 2030 & partnerships are an important way we’ll get there. Check out what’s happening @Breckenridgemtn & learn more about our multi-year sustainability roadmap w/ @PepsiCo via the link below.

[Kate Swayne Wilson @ksswayne]

It will take bold goals and action to solve climate change- we all need to set climate goals that initially are so big we don’t have the perfect roadmap to reach them. Only then will we drive the innovation, creativity, partnership, and solutions necessary to succeed.@VailResorts

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

As a company committed to combating climate change, we applaud @POTUS decision to reenter the U.S. into the Paris Agreement. Climate change is one of the most serious issues facing not only the ski industry, but the world, and progress requires global cooperation.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Today, President Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

[Kate Swayne Wilson @ksswayne]

What an incredible day for so many reasons, one of them being we are on our way to being back in the Paris Agreement!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

After taking the oath of office this afternoon, I got right to work taking action to:

- Control the pandemic
- Provide economic relief
- Tackle climate change
- Advance racial equity

[Kate Swayne Wilson @ksswayne]

So proud to be a part of this team and company working to mitigate climate change and support our communities, no matter the circumstances. @VailResorts

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

We’re well on our way to reaching our Commitment to Zero goal—a zero net operating footprint by 2030. Just announced: @VailResorts will be 93% powered by renewable electricity across our resorts by 2023 & we’ve reached our 50% waste diversion milestone!

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

.@VailResorts sustainability director, @ksswayne, joined @BloombergLive to discuss how we’re prioritizing climate action with our pledge to reach a zero net operating footprint by 2030. More on our commitment to protect the places we live, work and play:

So proud of this collaboration and its impact! Getting to zero waste to landfill by 2030 requires reimagination, partnership, and innovation.

[VailResorts @VailResorts]

Partnerships are an important way to reach sustainability goals. Thrilled to expand our partnership with @PepsiCo to 18 additional resorts as we announce new ways we’re working together to reach @VailResorts zero waste to landfill by 2030 commitment. More: https://t.co/41HVrvHzUw
