Save Winter is a movement to unite all of us who love winter to work as one to save the season of snow.
Our sustainability initiatives play a role in every aspect of games, operations, planning and production. “Together We Can – Save Winter” is our motto and these are some of the ways we are committed to making a difference:
More than 40 million of us enjoy winter sports and recreation. Save Winter will help ensure we’re doing everything we can to reduce our impact on the planet and enjoy winter as it was meant to be enjoyed. It’s about more than just now—it’s about keeping winter for generations to come.
To learn how we can have a positive impact, explore the Save Winter Eco Challenge. It provides information on how we can all work together to help save the season for everyone.

The central Solutions exhibition is a 3,000 square foot space featuring large-scale imagery, video, interactive exhibit stations, a STEM-driven maker space and first-person accounts from leaders in climate solutions and those most impacted by climate change, including frontline and indigenous communities.
We recognize that the chance to find sport, adventure, and beauty in winter has not been equally shared. If we’re going to work as one to Save Winter, we need to see this as a profound opportunity to make the future better than the past, and to reflect on all the ways that we can turn our shared purpose into a real chance to open doors to true inclusion. In that spirit we will do all we can to amplify the voices of everyone who chooses to Save Winter. Please join us alongside these and other organizations to take action against climate change:
