OUR GOAL: CARBON NEUTRAL BY 2025
In 2018, the sustainability program made major strides by developing a strategic sustainability plan meant to work alongside the ski area’s master development plan. This plan, and its seven aggressive sustainability goals, are having sweeping effects on the way the ski area operates and driving us toward our ultimate goal of being carbon neutral by 2025.
2023 Sustainability Report
Welcome to the 2023 Arapahoe Basin sustainability report, covering the ski area's 2022-2023 ski and ride season. During this season, A-Basin reached perhaps the most significant of our seven goals. Achieving 100% renewable electricity will get us closer to Carbon Neutrality than any of our other goals or initiatives, as it will mitigate 62% of our carbon emissions.
