Making a global impact through a local mentality

Across North America, we operate on the ancestral lands of a wide range of Native American, First Nation, and Indigenous nations and tribes. Guided by our commitment to responsibility and inclusion, we focus on fostering and strengthening meaningful relationships with local community partners throughout our destinations.

To guide meaningful progress, we conduct an annual Inclusion Survey across all locations, gathering key insights on workforce inclusivity and belonging.

We’re dedicated to fostering inclusive experiences and expanding meaningful access for guests and employees of all abilities. Through partnerships with over 30 adaptive organizations, we continue to create opportunities for everyone to connect with the mountains.

The mountains are more than places of work, play, and regeneration — they are platforms for advancing conversations and amplifying diverse voices. Guided by inclusion data, we’ve brought forward stories and perspectives that enrich our mountain communities.

Alterra proudly let the ski industry with the first comprehensive slate of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), open to all employees. These voluntary networks foster connection, counter isolation, and build community around shared experiences and allyship.

The Mental Well-Being & Resilience Program supports employees while tackling stigma around mental health and substance use. Through education, collaboration, and data-driven initiatives, it fosters healthier workplaces across Alterra destinations.

We are reducing our reliance on fossil fuels through meaningful investments in building and fleet electrification that increase grid capacity in mountain towns and advance EV innovation in remote, cold weather environments.

We are prioritizing efficiency and reducing energy costs as we grow by deploying active energy management, green building standards, and the latest snowmaking technology across our resorts.

We are bringing additional renewable electricity online across the U.S., prioritizing local instruments like on-site solar and power purchase agreements, where possible, to drive maximum impact in our communities.

We leverage our brand voice and partner with groups like Ceres, National Ski Areas Association, and Protect Our Winters to advocate for public policies that advance systemic, long-term change. 

Through sponsorships, partnerships, and contributions, our businesses strategically support local partners and organizations to advance shared community progress.

Established in 2020, the Alterra Community Foundation is focused on Emergency Assistance and Hardship Relief and on mental health and well-being in mountain communities

Alterra is dedicated to expanding mountain access across all 19 destinations, somore guests from all backgrounds can experience the joy of the slopes.

We’re addressing some of our communities’ most pressing needs with long-term investments in workforce housing and childcare, creating sustainable living solutions for employees at every stage of their careers.
