The Ski Club's Respect the Mountain campaign has gone from strength to strength over the years and is now one of the ski industry's biggest environmental and safety initiatives.
The Ski Club launched the Respect the Mountain campaign in 2004 after it was felt that the UK snowsports industry had to start addressing the fact that climate change had become a reality and the inevitable impact this would have on the snowsports industry. The Ski Club were in the perfect position to try and take the lead in raising awareness and offer information to all areas of the snowsports industry and to skiers and snowboarders.
Our Vision
- Raise awareness with regards to environmental and safety issues connected to snowsports
- Fund environmental projects connected to snowsports
- Offer educational information to skiers, snowboarders and the snowsports industry
You can Respect The Mountain by raising awareness, following our Seven Steps and taking note of our safety advice.
You can calculate your carbon footprint on the following sites: www.co2balance.com and www.carbonfootprint.com

We hope the information on the Respect the Mountain website will prove useful and informative. If you have any feedback about our campaign or new ideas please email us at skiers@skiclub.co.uk
