The Alta Environmental Center (AEC) oversees all environmental efforts at Alta Ski Area and plays a central role in developing and implementing sustainability initiatives. By tracking our energy use and comparing results year over year, we continue to find opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint. We invite you to explore Alta Ski Area’s carbon footprint data and sustainability progress through our reports.
