The Summit partners with Bonneville Environment Foundation in providing mini green tags to guests. In addition to matching every dollar a guest spends on green tags, The Summit ran their entire operation on renewable energy during Sustainable Slopes Day (Feb. 23, 2008), and has committed to do the same for the 2008-2009 season.

During the 2007-2008 winter season, The Summit purchased 155 green tags to help offset their carbon footprint. The total purchase is approximately equivalent to preventing 116.25 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, planting approximately 31 acres of trees in a year or parking a car so it is not driven for almost 22 years or 281,653 miles!

The Summit also partners with Climate Solutions in efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from our state's automobiles.
