There is no doubt that ours is not the most eco-friendly sport, it would however be unrealistic to ask a skier or snowboarder to stop for this reason, equally we all want our holidays. To minimise the impact we have when skiing or boarding there are a few simple choices. Skiing in France is closest to the UK so going there minimises fuel emissions when travelling; a high altitude ski resort means less snow-making; to check out how la Plagne rates environmentally and what it is doing try Save Our Snow. Some tour operators are notably more environmentally friendly than others: some simply invite you to make a contribution (they do not necessarily do anything themselves) whereas others have distinct policies on what they do.
