GREEN PROGRAM
With Tesla charging stations, multiple recycling receptacles, no smoking policies at all lift-loading areas and within 100 feet of all
building entrances, 4-stroke snowmobiles for mountain operations, and various energy saving policies throughout the resort, Big
Sky is committed to protecting the Yellowstone ecosystem and offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly mountain resort.
Actively participates in NSAA's "Keep Winter Cool" program. Also, currently evaluating paving the 10-mile stretch of road to the
top of Blacktail Mountain which would provide long-term sustainable access for land management and public use.
Actively participates in NSAA's "Keep Winter Cool" program and offers carpool parking lots at the ski area and Gallatin County
Fair grounds. Bridger's three lodges are all equipped with energy efficient light bulbs and recycles products like cardboard, glass,
aluminum, and paper and magazines. Also installed a new boiler in 2014 that runs off of beetle-killed timber and wood cut for
slope maintenance.
Extremely proud of their re-used ski lifts. Since 1984, Discovery has installed several lifts that were all purchased from other
resorts such as Sun Valley, Deer Valley and Park City. In 2015 a AC drive motor replaced a DC drive on their primary chairlift and
their groomers are now more fuel-efficient. Discovery also promotes recycling and uses LEED-certified roofing shingles to improve
insulation.
From recycling and composting to waterless urinals and low-energy snowmaking systems that use gravity instead of fans, Great
Divide stays one step ahead in their green business practices.
The recent building of two new lifts incorporated recycled components from other ski hills and previous lifts at Lookout to promote
resource conservation and reduce costs.
Features multiple recycling receptacles throughout the area.
Uses snow-making machines and utilizes pumps that rely on gravity flow. Recycles cardboard and aluminum. Switched to energy
efficient lighting. Also encouraged car pooling through use of theskilift.org ride sharing site.
Red Lodge is a member of the Yellowstone Business Partnership and an alumni in the Uncommon Sense—a two year sustain-
able business operations program that promotes waste-stream management, responsible purchasing and energy, and water and
transportation efficiency.
Over the past few years, Showdown has implemented a number of energy efficiency improvements. These include the use of
biodiesel for all heaters in Showdown's maintenance shops, LED light bulbs in the main lodge, and reusable dining ware instead of
disposable dishes in their food services division.
Offers several recycling receptacles for aluminum and paper products at the hill and also uses LED light bulbs in all of their lighting
fixtures.
The resort actively participates in a recycling program, uses motion-activated lighting and energy-efficient construction. Whitefish
also offers a free shuttle bus from the town of Whitefish to the ski hill in an effort to minimize the number of vehicles on the road.
