Welcome to 1STEP

1STEP aims to find and communicate practical ways for winter sports communities worldwide to practice their sport with environmental sustainability in mind. Whether it’s at a resort or in the backcountry, 1STEP is dedicated to finding ways of reducing carbon emissions and making sure that the environment isn’t harmed in the pursuit of winter play.

The foundation collaborates with industry sponsors, resorts, athletes, skiers, snowboarders and sledders as well as members of academia, government and non-governmental organizations to find innovative ways of protecting our environment and fighting climate change that mean we can enjoy our winters now and in the future.

1STEP MEANS LIVING IN STEP WITH NATURE.
