learn to ski dealsPlaying on Thin Ice

Sports are not immune from climate change, especially outdoor sports. Winter sports have been disproportionately impacted by rising temperatures, making ski, snowboard and outdoor pond hockey seasons noticeably shorter than they were even a generation ago. This negatively affects athlete performance, fan interest and the flow of new participants.

To address this new reality, winter sports organizations and athletes are promoting climate action.

Protect Our Winters (POW) trains Olympic and other elite skiers, snowboarders and rock climbers lobby Congress and snow state governments on behalf of climate legislation, and is hosting a panel where winter sport athletes will discuss the ways athletes and winter sports enthusiasts can get involved in climate action.

Playing on Thin Ice is sponsored by Clif Bar and Council for Responsible Sport, and part of the Sustainable Travel and Leisure program of Climate Week NYC.
