Gabi Asks: The Elephant on the Slopes

The elephant on the slopes, and in many Boardrooms, particularly those associated with outdoor or with eco concerns, is the idea that skiing is becoming increasingly unsustainable, exclusive and damaging to the environment.

The press has covered this extensively this ski season, so I asked a few people with skin in the game, and a lot of experience in the industry, what they thought. Should we all just stop skiing and never go again? Or did this season give everyone the kick they needed to turn it around within 10 years, like the IPCC suggests?

We all have a choice to make… Honesty and versatility are the key.
